  1. Thank you. We are out of town until tomorrow, but this is top of my list as soon as I get back.
  2. She didn't have a flight booked. But she needed the Passport for an ID. (Oddly, she couldn't even get a state ID because they wouldn't accept her birth certificate and naturalization papers) ... and well, she was excited to get US Passport.
  3. Who? The State Department? Not even sure how to contact them. I'll check online. Yeah, it's pretty devastating for her. She's very not happy.
  4. So, after my wife was naturalized, she sent in her papers to get her passport. That was received. (She's so excited). However, when the passport agency sent back her naturalization document, it was practically destroyed by rain. (Water damage). She devastated. I know you can get a replacement for a few hundred dollars ($600 or $700 I think). Has this happened to anyone else? Do I have any other options? Thank you.
  5. It feels quite weird to know I won't need to come to this site for advice on our own situation anymore. However I'll still be here to help others navigate this journey (time to give back). Thank you all for your guidance and friendship over the past few years. It's meant more to us than you can imagine.
  6. I'll never forget that day and how supportive you all were. We've had a long journey since then, and it's turned out to be amazing. Thank you.
  7. After such a long journey the day is here. My wife passed her citizenship exam and we are awaiting the naturalization ceremony. I am so excited for her !
  8. I'm still trying to figure this out. She seems to like being spoon fed information. I'm a university adjunct, so I'm used to seeing lots of learning styles. Yet, I'm having a hard time with figuring her out. I've given her some online content that others have suggested her. She seems to be watching it over and over, and some of it is sticking. I have high hopes !! If she passes this, I need to get her to learn the local driving laws so she can get a permit.
  9. According to USCIS, my wife has about a 4 month window before her N-400 interview. She's worried about the citizenship quiz. I gave her applications to go through the questions, but now she's asking me for resources to study that information (as opposed to just learning the answers). Does anyone know of a resource I can give her? Thanks in advance.
  10. Wife got her permanent GC today. She's very happy.
  11. I posted it here, because she JUST got her AOS, and the question was directly related to the AOS letter.
  12. Thanks. She has the expired GC and the extension letter. (Although the extension letter has been denied by foreign carriers before when it should have been accepted). I'll print the carrier guide for her as well. Appreciate the feedback.
  13. How long does it take to get an ADIT stamp? (Thank you)
  14. Yes, her extension letter is still valid. So I assume she's OK. I've also just sent in her paperwork for the N-400. Thank you all.
  15. Good day all, Wife recieved an I-797 today notifiying her that her removal of conditions was approved. (years late, but whatever). The new green card is to show up within 60 days. The point that was concerning is the paragraph: "You should not travel outside the United States until you receive your new Green Card, as y ou may have difficulty reentering the United States". She already has a trip planned in July to South Korea (with a Visa). Why will her current green-card / extension letter not work? Do I need to tell her to give up the planned trip? Thanks in advance, Ellis
  16. Her Philippine passport, her (expired) green card and the I-797 extension letter showing it's validity. Korean immigration refused to recognize the letter as valid.
  17. After we were denied boarding to South Korea because the Korean immigration authorities would not accept the extension letter, we applied her for a Visa from the Korean consolate. Today we got back a rejection because they too fail too recognize the extension letter. Is there any way to get a replacement GC with a valid expiration date? Failing that I'll have to apply her for an N-400 and see how long that takes. 😞 Open for thoughts. Interesting that CBP took down the above document.
  18. Yeah, she's refusing to believe that ... (but she's stubborn as I've discussed earlier). She'll figure it out and deal with it as it happens. I'm just hoping to get my long-term spouse visa to the Philippines before she loses her citizenship. LOL
  19. No worries. I appreciate the advice. She's happy to be American. She'll figure the rest out. (Only so much I can do)
  20. Actually a question: She says she keeps her Philippine citizenship as well. Is this not true? (I've considered getting Philippine citizenship for retirement ... but I'd have to give up US Citizenship .. as I understand it, that's not true in reverse). Maybe I'm wrong.
  21. Oh, I get it. She *always* sits next to me when I do this stuff. (She just hates computers) We travel to places she's good for, (her home, SE Asia, etc). she wants her US passport.
