This route covers a Chinese national who is married to a Filipino citizen (a spouse relationship), in the interest of reciprocity.

See recorded sources

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The spouse must be a Filipino citizen (conversion under Memorandum Order No. MCL-07-021).

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The page does not describe whether the Filipino spouse files or petitions.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence needed to prove the family relationship.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the subsection: 'What to bring?' only lists a checklist with complete documentary requirements, application form and children information; the checklist itself (which would name relationship documents) is not in the captured text.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the whole subsection (who can apply, where, what to bring, how to apply, cost): no financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance obligation is stated.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

Conversion to a probationary permanent resident visa involves CRU pre-screening, a hearing, image and fingerprint capture with ACR I-Card application, and passport submission for implementation if approved; a Chinese national holding the probationary non-quota immigrant visa, valid for one (1) year, may then apply for amendment of that probationary visa under MO MCL-07-021. The official source does not state the rights attached to the status or the outcome of the amendment.

Limits of the record
  • The rights attached to the status and the outcome of the amendment (e.g. permanent status) are not stated explicitly.

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
