Sorry to hear that, fill out an Advance Parole, that should do the trick, it lets people leave the US temporarily for a short period of time before they get their green card.

File a form I-131 with the AOS paperwork, that is the form needed for Advanced Parole.

Make an infopass appointment at your local office and take her receipt for the filing of the AOS and apply for an emergency AP. They can even have it sent to Manilla for her to pick up, but she will have to stay there until she gets it. She can also wait about 10 days and get it in her hand before she leaves.

Correct answer. Filing a regular I-131 will take months. The local office may waive the fee if you bring the receipt for the I-485.

i know this is true of a re-entry permit but I believe they need the AP in hand before leaving. Can you provide a link that proves AP is fine to leave after applying but without approval? 'cause otherwise everyone would be doing it...

He can't do an infopass until they get's the NOA from the AOS. Then he can do an infopass with the NOA and documets showing why they need an emergency AP.
