US Immigration from Philippines

Ok, so the question is in the title. My wife is past the 6 months on her visa but the AOS is pending. We need to fly and I wanted to make sure she's ok. I don't think anyone will even look at her stamps if she has to sho her passport. I don't know if her Philippine DL would be accepted but her I think she's ok with her MilDep ID card anyway. Just checking.

Asking for a friend, her sponsor is her mother who lives in New York and she has a sister who lives in L.A. Her question is, can she live with her sister(also a US citizen) in L.A. instead and not with her mother(sponsor)? She wants to continue her college degree in L.A. and she thought it is cheaper to study there. Will this affect her visa status? Her visa is F11 (above 21 unmarried daughter of a US citizen)

UPDATING DRIVERS LICENSE RECORDS at the DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES AFTER NATURALIZATION

NB: This might be state-dependent. (I am in Florida.)

Updated SSA Via US Mail - No Issues!

Updated SSA via mail earlier this year. Was quick & easy.

Mailed the passport (not naturalization certificate) with the required form, and within 3 days got the passport back, and within a few weeks got the new and updated Social Security Card (same SSN, of course, but with an updated issue date on it.)

DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles)

Have heard that updating the drivers license was also a step to do after citizenship.

Spoke with several DMV agents over the subsequent months, and heard conflicting stories, including -

1) "Yes, you should come in and update your record at DMV once SSA has updated their database."

and

2) "No, there is no real need to come in to update your DMV record if there is no name or address change."

Spoke with a Sheriff while waiting on the COVID Vaccine Shot line, today, and -

1) He looked at my drivers license and said that there was nothing on the physical license indicating that I was NOT a citizen.

2) He said, "Their electronic database system would normally have a notation indicating if a person is NOT a citizen."

3) He typed my drivers license into his console and said, "The Florida DMV database does NOT have a notation indicating that I was a non-citizen".

4) He said, "Since there is no notation on my DMV record that I am NOT a citizen, there is no need to go to DMV to update my record on their system."

My fianc e and I are living together in Bicol province. We want to move to Manila to get closer to the embassy and SLEC.

What are the requirements for incoming Manila passengers via flight?

Ive researched both PAL and CebuPacific airline websites, talked to chatbots, went to our barangay and LGU, still getting mixed answers.

My understanding is we need travel pass and medical certificate. Our LGU was clueless and said we needed a covid test, but no where on the airline websites says that. Our barangay didn t say we needed that either.

For essential travel reason: my fianc e would like to do the medical & I will eventually be going home to US (hopefully with my fianc e)

After receiving no response from the US Embassy in Philippines, I emailed them again through a different support link. I assume that it's an automated response; however, I'm at a lost, I don't have any idea how to advance from here. Is someone going through the same issue? Manila is back lockdown again but I did not see any announcement regarding their position. I screenshot the response I received but it basically says I have to file again and start case from scratch, unless, I can prove that it was out of my control. How do I do that precisely?

Thank you for any kind of response!
