question re PH passport expiration

[hopeful pinay 0]

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding Philippines Passport. My parents are going here in the states next month and they were telling me about my dad's passport which will expire on June 2011. From what they heard, passport from Phils goin to other country should not be close to 6mos the expiration.Is this true???? Will that affect his travel goin here in the states if his passport will expire on June 2011. What should be done?

Have him get his passport renewed early and there will be no problems.

THAT IS THE WORLD STANDARD ON VISA APPLICATIONS FOR MOST COUNTRIES,IT MUST BE VALID FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE YOUR APPLICATION.SO JUST GET IT RENEWED AND YOU ARE GOOD

Do they have their visitor visa already or are they applying for one pa lang?

If they have the visitor visa already, then my next question would be, how long are they planning to visit? He can stay in the U.S. up to before his I-94 expires or before his passport expires...whichever comes first.

If they don't have a visa yet and will apply for one, better to have the passport renewed early before applying for the visa.

My parents have a multiple entry visa which will expire after ten years I will be giving birth this november that is why they are planning to come here next month.

If you think your dad will be staying in the US beyond June 2011, he could have his passport renewed, but he would need to go to the U.S. Embassy to have his visitor visa re-issued into his new passport...no idea if that will cost him another $140...he'd have to call the Embassy and ask.

Otherwise, he has to make sure he has exited the U.S. before his I-94 expires or before his Philippine passport expires, whichever comes first.
