So I am currently holding a Filipino passport staying here inside Mainland China. I was born in the Philippines with a Filipino mother and a Chinese father. My dad only got his permanent residency because he is married to my Filipino mother. This visa was issued year 2010 (10 years after my birth, year 2000). When I was 18, I studied in a university in Xiamen as an international student from the Philippines with a Filipino passport. Everytime I apply for a student visa, I always get rejected at the first submission because immigration officers knew that I am a person with nationality conflict. They would need me to provide my birth certificate + parents' marriage certificate with chinese translation (that was a pain in the ass btw). At that time I didn't know anything about China's nationality law and I wasn't aware that I have a nationality conflict case. Now I have already graduated from university and wanted to claim my Chinese citizenship to be able to live here freely in China without processing for visas. So I went back to Nanchang (this is my dad's hukou place) because I asked Xiamen immigration before and they told me to go to my dad's hukou place to process. Now they wouldn't acknowledge my birthright claim of Chinese citizenship just because I was holding a Filipino passport inside Mainland China and that I can't apply for nationality recognition because I'm already 25 years old and that my only path is through naturalization. I don't get it? I thought naturalization is a path only for pure foreigners that never had Chinese citizenship? What nanchang officers say contradicts with my experience with Xiamen immigration. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Does any of you had this kind of experience and how did you solve it. I really need help please 🥺

我目前持菲律宾护照在中国大陆居住。我出生于菲律宾，母亲是菲律宾人，父亲是中国人。父亲是因与我菲律宾籍母亲结婚，才取得菲律宾永久居留权。该永居身份是2010年获批的，也就是我2000年出生的十年之后。

我18岁时，持菲律宾护照以菲律宾国际学生身份，在厦门读大学。每次申请学生签证，首次递交总会被拒签，因为出入境工作人员知晓我存在国籍冲突问题。他们会要求我提供出生证明以及父母的结婚证书，并且都要附上中文翻译（说实话，这个过程实在折腾）。那时候我完全不了解中国国籍法，也不知道自己属于国籍冲突情形。

如今我已经大学毕业，希望取得中国公民身份，这样就不用反复办理签证，可以在中国自由居住生活。我之前咨询过厦门出入境，对方告知我要前往父亲的户口所在地办理，于是我回到了南昌。

但南昌这边的工作人员不认可我依据出生权利主张中国公民身份。理由是我现在在境内持有菲律宾护照，并且我已经25周岁，无法办理国籍认定，称我唯一可行的途径只有申请归化入籍。

我实在无法理解。我一直以为归化入籍是给原本从未拥有过中国国籍的纯外籍人士办理的？南昌出入境工作人员的说法，和我在厦门得到的答复完全矛盾 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️。有没有人遇到过类似情况，你们是怎么解决的？我真的很需要大家的帮助🥺
