Can I renew for passport while AOS is pending?

[Kini 1]

Hi! I’m from the Philippines. My wife and I married last October 2018. We just filed I-485 together with the other documents last Monday. My passport expired months ago and would like to renew it. But first my country needs a ROM (Report of Marriage) before renewing a passport. My problem here is Philippines do not recognize same-sex marriage. How do I go about this? How am I able to renew my passport while adjusting my status? Can anyone enlighten me please? Thank you so much

Moved to PI regional forum as the OP needs advice specific to PI processes.

I renewed my passport while waiting for AOS in a consular outreach. Doing ROM was the main business and was suggested to do the passport renewal to reflect my new last name while I'm at it. It was not implied that ROM was needed for the passport renewal and vice versa. 

 

I don't think you need ROM to renew your passport. It might get complicated if you are thinking of changing last name though.

Just do a renewal.  You will be keeping your name.

You renew your passport in your maiden name.  You can't renew your Philippine passport in your married name in your situation.

Thank you so much! Will they be needing anything from me since I am adjusting my status? And also if I state that I’m married would they need more information about it?

Your marriage is not recognized so no reason to mention it.

 

The consulate will want copies of your green card or your I-797 showing you applied for a green card as proof you are still a Filipino.

 

"  Original and two (2) photocopies of additional proof that the applicant is still a Filipino "

I didn't see a list of what evidence constitutes proif that you are still a Filipino,  is the I797 something you added on your own?

[Hank_ 9,174]

It was listed on the consulate websites as an accepted document before this new website update, now they don't list "any accepted documents" just state "additional proof"

Hmmmm. Just a couple weeks ago you were adamant that an adjustment of status applicant wasn't eligible to renew a passport before getting the green card
