US Immigration from Philippines

My wife's green card will expire soon. We're filling out Form I-90 to renew. Besides her passport, a copy of her current green card, birth certificate, proof of residence, etc... what supporting evidence do we need?

Starting a new thread to document this minor but expensive annoyance.

I understand that there can be delays in getting back my naturalization certificate, but I applied in January 2025. It's now May and I still haven't received it.

My timeline:

• Jan. 27, 2025: applied at USPS for a passport book and card. The employee took my original certificate of naturalization. Paid for expedited processing
• Jan. 30, 2025: Dept of State confirms receiving my passport application
• Feb. 6, 2025: received my passport book in the mail
• Feb. 12, 2025: received my passport card
• Mar. 31 / Apr. 14 / May 1, 2025: called the National Passport Information Center to follow up my naturalization certificate. Finally, on May 1, they confirmed they couldn't find it and sent me instructions to get reimbursed.

Now I have to file USCIS Form N-565 to get a replacement certificate, pay $555 and file another set of documents for DOS to reimburse me.

My fiancee lives in General Santos City, her id was stolen, we are waiting for a replacement, she dropped a name so its taking longer than expected ,, she cant pickup her passport because she needs the id, birth cert is not adequate, ans its been 3 months since waiting for id, should be ready this month, my question is the first thing they want is the ds 160, which she cant fill out because she needs the valid id, should i call them and let them know that shes waiting for her id ?or do they just extend our case automatically ? the other issue is she tested positive for a latent T/B infection and is on treatment for 6 mos, which ends in August, so if she not done with her 6 mo treatment should she just go thru with setting up the interview or should she delay it until her treatment is done ,thanks .The tb question i asked earlier this year, and now since we received the notice from the embassy recently i thought i would add it to mt e mail to see what the opinions are/ thanks .

If you are not sure whether or not you should register with USCIS under the "Alien Registration Requirement", below is the link to the USCIS website questionnaire that will guide you to the correct answer. Once you go to the page, click on the "Do I need to Register?" button.

Brief Background: My work surprised me with a Mexico work trip in September. My wife really wants to go, but we are still waiting for her AoS, which may or may not be issued in time, but assuming it is issued in time, is that enough or are there additional steps that we need to take? She's already been granted her work authorization and we didn't file for the AP at the time, since we didn't expect any need for out-of-country travel (obviously a mistake).

Few concerns/ideas I have are:

1. Pursue a Mexico tourist visa as a Filipino passport holder
   • Concern is that her AoS was filed under her new last name, so once the green card is issued, it'll differ from her Filipino passport.
2. Once AoS is approved, we try to get a US passport ASAP
   • Concern is that I'm not sure if AoS approval is the sufficient for getting a US passport

PS: We are doing a refundable airline ticket, since no matter what she can't leave without the AoS being approved beforehand.
