The United States requires non-citizens to keep a foreign passport that is valid for six months beyond their date of departure. If you are in the United States legally, then you can renew your Philippine passport at the consulate general's office in Los Angeles.
The estimated time set by the State Department to process your passport is four to six weeks. Renewal of passports can be done through mail, but first time applications should be done in person. You can apply for a passport at designated circuit court offices, regional federal buildings, and post offices.
