Merry Christmas everyone! Seeing my grandma alive is worth going for a week! (She's 91, beeen sick and hospitalized 3x last month that's why I'm going home) ? love to all!

So, I also emailed the U.S. Customs about my concern. And this is their exact reply.

-You will be OK returning to the US. The 6 month rule for passports does not apply to US permanent residents or Philippine citizens. I hope this helps.-

I'm still going to DC and have my passport renewed, keep the receipt with me and borrow my old passport. I will also ask a Philippine exit immigration officer when I get to the Philippines so I know when to come back. I have an open ticket coming back, if they say I have the leave the Phils before the 6 month rule I'll just leave the 4th. I'll let y'all know what happens when I come back in January! Thank you guys so much for your help!

I understand that, however the Philippines valid passport rule is different. They won't consider your passport valid and won't let you travel if it expires in less than 6 months.

As per Philippine Embassy in DC all Filipinos leaving the country should have a valid passport. And if I leave Jan 7, my passport won't be valid then because it expires July 5.

HI everyone, Happy Thanksgiving!

I do have a question. I am a US Lawful Permanent Resident, I am planning to go to the Philippines in Dec 27 of this year and coming back to the USA (leaving Philippines) Jan 7, 2015, but my Philippine Passport is expiring July 5, 2015. I called the Phil embassy in DC and was told I have to leave Philippines by Jan 5 to make sure my passport is within 6 months validity, however I also looked at cbp website and saw US will not look at my passport when I come back but my green card instead. I am scared that if I leave Philippines on the 7th, they're not gonna let me go. I'm planning to go to DC on Dec 19 to renew my passport and was told I can borrow the old passport while waiting for the new one to use it when I go in Dec 27. Is it possible that the Phils immigration would let me leave on Jan 7 if I show my receipt stating my new passport is on its way. Please help me because I'm so confused right now. If you have left the Philippines with an expiring passport, please share your experience. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone. Me and my fiance from the US is starting to process our k1 Visa.

I'm currently filling out the G325A Biographical Form and it asks me for my Mother's bday.

My mom and dad was never married, my dad passed away 5 years ago and we don't know anything about our mom because she left us when me and my siblings were young. We don't know anyone from her side of the family. I'm completely lost on what to put on her bday. Any suggestions guys? Kindly help me. Thanks so much
