name in passport different from green card

[LainMike 0]

Hello everyone. My husband and I are planning to go back to Philippines, my middle name in my green card is my middle name when I was not married which is my moms last name when she's not married, because that's what it's written in our marriage certificate. So I just retained it. Then my middle name in my Philippine passport is my last name when I was not married yet.. My question is, it's ok to go in and out of US ? And what middle name should I use for my boarding pass?

Please I need some advice..

Use the full name that you have on your passport to book the flight and you will not run into any issues.

You will not have any issue at all just be sure to bring your marriage certificate with you. My wife did the same thing last year when we went to the Philippines. She used her single passport and just showed her marriage license and green card and there was no problem at all. Just make sure to book your flights using the name in your passport, if you do not do that then there will be problrms.

Always book using your passport. Bring your GC, your passport and your marriage certificate. Be sure to use your:

Balikbayan one-year visa-free stay

Balikbayans – any overseas Filipino returning to the Philippines, including former Filipinos who have acquired foreign citizenship – can stay in the Philippines without a visa for a period of one year. The balikbayan visa-free stay privilege is extended to the balikbayan’s non-Filipino spouse and children, provided they enter the Philippines with the balikbayan.
Former Filipino Balikbayans traveling to the Philippines are advised to bring either their old Philippine passport or copy of Philippine birth certificate as proof of their former Philippine citizenship. Accompanying family members of the balikbayan can bring appropriate supporting documents:
• For the spouse: copy of marriage certificate
• For each child: copy of birth certificate
• For adopted children: copy of adoption papers Philippine Law (R.A. 9174) provides benefits to baikbayans:
• Tax-exempt maximum purchases in the amount of up to US$2,000.00 (US$1,000.00 as arriving Balikbayan and US$1,000.00 as arriving passenger), at Philippine Government–operated duty free shops
• Exemption from Travel Tax, provided that their stay in the Philippines is one year or less. If their stay in the Philippines exceeds one year, Travel tax will apply to them.

Yes it is fine to travel outside the USA. When purchasing airfare for INTERNATIONAL travel use your name as shown in your passport. Carry a copy of your marriage certificate as well.

Ok, just make sure to use the name in your passport and not the green card.
