Need some help & verification please....

My Wife arrived here in September 2012 on a K-1 Visa. She received her Green Card in April 2013, so obviously we have not processed her Removal of Conditions yet.

Is there ANY issues/problems, etc., with her returning to Cebu for 3-4 weeks within the next month or so to visit Family and then returning back to the USA?

Is she going to have any headaches with Customs either in the Philippines and/or at LAX?

Thanks so much.

I'm getting some additional info on this and need some clarification.

My Wife's Green Card has her new (Married) name on it, which does NOT match her Maiden name on her Birth Certificate, her Philippine Passport and her old US Visa that the Embassy put into her Passport.

Do I need to do something and/or go somewhere to get her Philippine Passport updated and/or corrected to match her Green Card with her new name?

I'm just concerned about her having issues during travel/immigration with non-matching Passport & Green Card info.

Thanks for the help.

she can file a Report of Marriage and amend her passport at a Philippine Consulate or simply bring a copy of your marriage certificate. also remember the flight must be booked by the name in her passport.

US Embassy Manila website. bringing your spouse/fiancee to USA

No not an issue at all

Not an issue at all. She can travel on her old passport, just make sure to carry a marriage certificate to show for re-entry.
