Well of course I have the chat and also in the chat asked her to verify with a supervisor and she did.
When I called, I told her about it and asked her to verify. She took her time looking into it and said a valid Philippines passport, expired GC, and mainly having an extension letter (i797 and/or i551)
is good enough.
Also I had her put this in the notes for when we get to the airport for the person checking us in to see and she did.
So hopefully that is enough
