And also I have another question , our philippine passport is about to expire , do we need to renew it?

My understanding is that you are eligible for citizenship when you have been in the country for three years if you are here via marriage. As for the right time, it's entirely up to you to decide whether citizenship is right and when etc. You can't get a US passport without US citizenship so if you are planning on traveling out the country, you'll need a passport which means renewing the one you have.

If all of you have the maroon passports you can just renew by mail. If not, you need to personally appear in person. Here is the link of the consulates here in the states.
