NBI CLEARANCE FOR US TRAVEL

[charmingangel 1]

Gud pm. Just got my NBI Clearance that was mailed to me from the Philippines for my travel to the US. This is the first time that I applied for the said document. When I checked the document, there was one discrepancy, my name was written as follows, Maiden surname preceded by "de" then my married surname , given name preceded by "y" then my middle name when I was single. It was like this for example, Torres "de" Degracia, Maria Katrina y Alcantara. I was wondering why there was "de" in my name where in fact my married is without "de". When I called the agency and inquired about it, the person on the line said that it was just normal to put "de" to signify that I'm already married and that my maiden's surname should be preceded by "de" followed by my married name. Is this format right and acceptable to US authorities or will they reject my document? I'm quite apprehensive if it will not be questioned since I know US authorities are quite strict especially in submitting documents with different names. Can anyone please give me an advice regarding this. Thank you. God bless everyone.

That is just fine, I have the same thing after I applied for NBI clearance using my married name, It's confusing, But I when I applied for passport last year and I had NO problem.

thanks for your input. But do you think when I submit it to the NVC, they will not question it?

thats OK. same thing with my mom's nbi clearance. NVC knows thats how they write full names of married women on legal documents which shows her first name, mother's/father's/husband's last name.
