My wife is wondering about traveling to the philippine with passport under her maiden name. she has tried to report the marriage to embassy. But we are in a catch 22 it seems she received a divorce while she was in Hong Kong , to satisfy the us requirements. both are philippine national and has to report the marriage to the courts and nso but not allowed because both are nationals, so she cant change her passport to married name. her (GC) is in married name,

so we are wondering how much of a problem re-entering the US will she have ?

or can she renew her passport under her maiden name and just go that way for the extent of all travel ??

She can travel on her current passport but recommend that she continue clearing her name so that she can avail a new passport in the correct name. When traveling carry the marriage certificate to show why there are differences in her documents if ever asked. She won't have a problem traveling as long as her ticket naming reflections what her name is in her passport.

Not a problem at all entering the USA, simple carry a copy of your marriage certificate when international traveling. Ticket must be in the name in the passport

You can leave everything as is as, but if she wants her Philippine passport in her new married name she will have to complete the annulment process in the Philippines.

3 years after being an LPR she can apply for citizenship and have a U.S. passport in her married name ;)
