My wife is an H1B holder who is now in line for a green card. She is unable to leave the United States until she receives that green card within a year from now.

Her passport will likely expire before then. It's all just a giant game :) Our solution was to lawyer up and let them handle everything for us, there is no use in trying to understand a government system.

You don't need to leave the United States to renew your passport. Your country's embassy in the US can do it for you.

This is true. My wife has renewed her Russian passport from Poland and from Chile, as well as from within the United States.

Whether you can renew a passport from outside of the country differs between countries.
