QUESTION: What documents does she need to show the US immigration?
ANSWER: Go to this link, provided by US Customs and Border Protection: https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/572/related/1
As you will read in the very first sentence, "A foreign national or alien entering the US is generally required to present a passport and valid visa issued by a US Consular Official, unless they are ... a lawful permanent resident of the US."
So it should be just fine.

Her new passport doesn't have the stamp date when she arrived in the Philippines,it was in the Lost Passport,so,I don't know if that's important or not,however,as I said before, her mom got a police report and it was mentioned there the date she arrived in the Philippines.She has a new valid passport now and her Green Card,would that be enough documentation to show the US immigration,with the police report?
Yes. As I already said, even if she does not have a passport, she can enter with her green card. So having her green card AND her passport is ideal, but not required. I'm not sure what more you think she has to show US immigration, and why. But if it makes you feel better, she should travel with the police report. She should not present it unless asked. I doubt they will ask any questions. I hope I have answered your question. Please remember to rate my answer below.

I'm sorry I gave you the wrong rating but I'm already satisfied with your answer,thank you very much.
No problem. And thank you!In the future, remember that you should not rate answers if you still need clarification. Instead, go ahead and hit "REPLY" or "CONTINUE CONVERSTAION" instead of giving a rating. Then, once you've received your final answer, you can give a rating. I'll provide the ratings options again, and you can go ahead and give me a satisfactory rating. Thanks again!
