The marriage will certainly be recognized by the US. She is a widow living in CDO. Was the death reported to the US Embassy, if he died here in the Philippines? Phone: (632) 301-2000 ext. 9 Fax: (632) 708-9723 and (632) 708-9714 E-Mail: [email protected] The Embassy completes the Report upon submission of the following: the original U.S. passport of the deceased and/or certificate of naturalization (if applicable) original or original certified copy of the local death certificate completed Embassy-issued death questionnaire copy of passport or other photo identification of the next-of-kin, and original or original certified copies of documents establishing relationship of the next-of-kin to the deceased. She can not draw another penny from Social Security until she is eligible for a widow’s benefits at age 60 … and in today’s world, that age 60 minimum is kind of false advertising, because if she takes the benefits at age 60 she will suffer a huge cut in her monthly payment, for life, rather than if she is able to wait until age 66, her most likely “Full Retirement” age. And if she stays in the Philippines, and is not a US citizen or LPR? Too bad. She can’t collect anything. Hubby dies thinking Social Security will take care of his family and often he is dead WRONG in addition to just actually being dead. To claim SSA benefits for your deceased husband, you must have lived in the US for at least five years. If the husband passed away less than two years ago, she can self petition herself for a spouse visa to the US( Form I-360). You need no affidavit of support, but you will need a resident address for the petition. Your adjustment of status is a moot issue, now that you are in the Philippines. If youve been here for more than a year, your green card has expired. Hiring an attorney, in the Philippines is a waste of money in regards to this matter. A Philippine attorney can do you no service with USCIS. This is for filipina married to american citizen in the philippines or widow. That did not file there adjustment of status.
