hi daverubyk,

u can renew your passport at the phils embassy near you, just make sure that your old passport with ilr is attached to the new one when you travel. like what i said your ilr won't be revoked as long as you have not been away for 2 yrs consecutively. the reason why i applied for citizenship is because it saves me money and time in applying for visa (w/in europe and also in uae) nothing else; to be honest with you, rights and benefits between a citizen and a resident is just the same (except you can't vote, but would you want to cast a vote?).
