hi katty,

You should purchase a roundtrip ticket in your maiden name to match your passport that still in your maiden name. Note that you have to be out of the US not exceeding 6 months or your residency will be revoke.

A. YES, you need to bring your marriage certificate for you to use whenever you re-entry US again to match your passport in maiden name & greencard in married name.

B. YES, you will use your greencard to show your status as permanent resident of US until it expires.

Enjoy visiting Phils. again .. Goodluck!
