  1. My wife and I are planning a trip back to the Philippines for late next year and are trying to gather what we need to travel and guarantee re-entry. We were unaware about the report of marriage and have filed very late. We have waited 3 months only to get a text that our "application was denied" with no specified reason from the Philippines Embassy, so unfortunately we are trying to get our originals back from them so we can try again. We are afraid we are running out of time. We have copies of her extension letter but can't find the original and therefore believe we will need a I-551 stamp. I'm not sure though if we can get that if we end up out of time and have to renew the passport in her maiden name. Since her passport needs renewed and we may need to do it in the maiden name I'm worried about re-entry issues. A lot seems to be against us and I'm looking for advice from people who have been through similar. I really appreciate any help or guidance.
  2. Good evening, We are in the process of getting my wife's passport renewed in her married name as to avoid complications on a trip we plan to take next year. Unfortunately, due to how long it's taking for processing, she will not have her new green card before we travel and so we are considering getting an I-551 stamp on her new passport once we get it. Not sure how long it takes to renew a passport with the Philippines Consulate, or how long the wait is to get an I-551 stamp, but we are having a hard time getting straight-forward information on what is needed to get a stamp. Is the Notice of Action extending my wife's green card while we wait needed for the stamp? If so, will they accept a photocopy if we've misplaced the original? What struggles/obstacles might I face in trying to get this done. Any stories and advice are much apprecaited. Thank you!
  3. So I need the stamped copy of the documents in order to renew the passport? I've read online that the ROM process takes 6 months - 1 year. Do the stamped documents come back sooner than this?
  4. Good afternoon, My wife and I were just made aware of the report of marriage process and are currently going through that process with the explanation for the delay being that it was unintentional since we were unaware of the requirement, however we now need to renew my wife's passport. I saw that if it has been less than a year we can just go ahead and file with the copy of our ROM and associated documents. Can we file for passport renewal at the same time as submitting the ROM? Or will we have to wait until the ROM has been completed before we can get her passport in her married name? Thanks in advance!
  5. Good evening everyone, I'm not going to lie... I'm a bit panicked right now. My wife has had her biometrics for removal of conditions on her 2 year green card. We are currently in the long waiting period of getting the 10 year green card and have finally reached the point where we can do the early filing for N400. A couple weeks ago my wife finally got her full driver's license and we had a long struggle at the DMV while the employee there (a new hire) scattered back and forth trying to figure out how to give a full license to a permanent resident (turns out it's no different than the process for a US citizen), but I'm just now finding out that protocol for expired licenses is to shred them on the spot at the DMV. Apparently this woman upon getting my wife's expired green card (along with the I-797 extending said green card) decided that she'd take my wife's green card and shred it. My wife (not realizing that this was very wrong) didn't realize it was a big deal until just now while I was trying to verify the dates on her card and she told me it has been shredded. So, naturally, I'm panicking. Under normal circumstances we'd just file for a replacement, no big deal, but can we even file to replace the EXPIRED green card? Is the I-797 going to be enough? Will we need both the green card and I-797 to finish the process to get the 10-year green card, or the N400? Please help. Any advise is appreciated.
