A US Passport? Or a PHL Passport?


Your wife can't apply for a US Passport until she completes the Naturalization process.

Also, your wife's visa was cancelled on arrival.

The stamped/endorsed visa on your wife's PHL Passport serves as a temporary green card for up to a year until she receives her real green card.

("Upon endorsement serves as Temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year).

She has to use her Philippine passport, it is the only one she will have until she is naturalized years from now. There is no issue traveling back to the Philippines and entering the USA again, if her green card hasn't arrived before she leaves she does have the stamp in her passport that is good for a year.

When's the wedding? I'm not clear on the timeline of how long after your spouse arrives as to when the permanent Green Card arrives (as opposed to the temporary one in her passport). But once she gets it, she flies using her PHL Passport and the Green Card.

According to this thread here in the PHL forum (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/527221-traveling-on-i-551-stamp/), she should be all set traveling with just the PHL passport and the endorsed IR/CR-1 visa.
