The only catch may be when you apply for citizenship, their seems to be a 180 day limit for out of country in the last 3 years prior to naturalization. My wife traveled on her green card and passport no issues with different names.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

"Folks

Thanks for this topic,how about u have a gc married name,then passport maiden name,what name should you use to purchase th round trip ticket?married name or maiden name??

Thank you

"

For international travel the name on the ticket MUST always match the name on the government issued ID used for identification and travel--i.e. the passport. The only thing the GC is good for is to show that the hold is a LPR and subject to the rules, regulations, and rights as a LPR. This means being able to work in the US, file US tax return, and return to the US without the need for an entry visa (as long as the GC hold follows the rules for stays outside the US tha is). So your wife will be traveling on her PI passport subject to visa requirements for a PI citizen and passport holder. The GC lets her re-enter the US and it may allow her to get a visa to another country easier than a PI non-GC holder.

Use her maiden name for the tickets as that is the name on her PI passport. Take a copy of the marriage certificate to show that she is the same person when she shows her GC for re-entry. Otehr tahn that she shoul dbe good to go. That is one reason I am glad my wife has kept her maiden name as it is one less thing to worry about when traveling.

Good luck and enjoy your trip.

What everyone is saying is true. We just went to the Philippines April 5th through the 16th. My wife got her GC last July and this was her first time out of the country. Her passport was in her maiden name. We followed the advice above and everything went smoothly in both directions.

Plane ticket in her maiden name to match her Philippines passport.

GC in hand.

Copy of marriage certificate.

Hope you have a great trip!!!!

green card: married name

passport: maiden name.

Purchase tickets in her maiden name, the one on her passport. Bring a copy of your marriage certificate when you travel to show why the name on her green card (married name) does not match the passport when re-entering the US.
