Int'l Travel *after* AOS

[Jared and May 16]

So before I left last week, Milagros and I were talking about going back home to the Philippines next year to visit family.. However, she brought up the idea of maybe not going back home in 2011, but rather in 2012. She thought maybe we would be able to go somewhere that she normally couldn't go to because of visa related issues, and we both kind of agreed that Italy might be an awesome trip. However, she will still have her Philippines passport until she becomes a US citizen.

My question for my fellow VJers is what success have you had with obtaining visas to European countries - Italy, Germany, etc while being a Filipino citizen but living in the US? Obviously this would be after filing the AOS and having the travel ban lifted.

Thanks in advance..

If you check out this site it shows what is needed for a LPR of the US to visit other countries. I believe they get some benefits of residing in the US...it's not quite the same as just travelling. https://www.delta.com/planning_reservations/plan_flight/international_travel_information/visa_passport_information/index.jsp

From my understanding, it isnt near as bad to get a travel document to visit european countries as it is to come to the US.

Yeah, I know that Milagros pretty much needs a visa for anywhere we'd like to go - Germany or Italy.. But I was curious if anyone else has been through this and tried applying, etc? She doesn't have a penny to her name, so I was wondering what kind of requirements they might have.. I'd imagine it's not as intense as a US visa.. I wonder if I help her case in terms of support?

all you need is her GC and your good to go everywhere you want her GC is your ticket to travel

Not a problem. Reasoning: why would a Filippina who went through a lot of ####### to become a US resident illegally stay in a European country?

BTW., forget Germany, do South of France, Marbeilla (Spain), and/or Italy instead.

So she would show her GC & Pilipinas passport to enter any country that a US passport can get you into?

LOL, yeah we'd like to go to Paris, Spain, and Italy.. I just threw in Germany as an example..

well, you would be travelling with her, so support and money would be no issue right? I would talk to a travel agent at least since like on the delta site it tells you that you need a visa for the country. Granted it would be no issue for her coming back, but I would hate to see you guys get there and be denied entry because she doesnt have a visa.
