Hey guy

Can anyone help me with this ?

No, the passport only needs to be valid to enter the country.

you don't need your passport for AOS (other than to show your visa)... you will if you want to travel abroad however...

I am working on my AOS; my passport expired this year, and the agency of my country doesn't allow me to renew the passport in US because I haven't served their military.

They require me to go back after I finish my study with no exception.

I guess I am not going anywhere even after I receiving green card because my expired passport.

You can visit Canada and Mexico, they recognize the green-card, and all you need to re-enter the USA is the green-card.

Your passport problem can be solved by naturalization 3-5 years after getting the green-card, you then can get a US passport.

Yea, that is my plan.

I heard the rules were changed, that it's required to have valid passport in n out of US; even to Canada or Mexico....

Or I am hoping there will be law changed after new president in TW......

Thanks for the reply.

That's good news; so if I hold a current Green Card and my passport expires, I should have no problem to re-enter US.

All i need to re-enter is showing the valid Green Card.

I have entry permit to China; they don't care about TW passport, maybe I can go visit there and come back w/my expired TW passport and valid GC.

Thanks again for the info.

China may want to see a valid passport, the above rule only applies to neighboring countries and islands not international travel.
