not mandantory to register a foreign marriage in US

just register new married name or name you will use to get SS #

foreign marriages are recognized in the US
you will be asked to show proof of marriage when getting SS # and for things like driving licence

English translation will be needed for these things

When you renew your Philippine passport to your married name, the Philippine embassy/consulate will require you to Report your Marriage. Other than that, it is in your discretion.

Hindi po it is not mandatory to register your marriage to the Philippine consulate at all. But if you want to get a new passport in your married name you have to do the ROM before you can do that.

When I got my visa, I couldn't believe how quick the process was. Some thought we hired an attorney to process the visa but we didn't and only used visajourney as a reference guide.

An attorney for sure wouldn't speed up the process at USEM.

Common misconception for people new and unfamiliar to the process that getting an attorney will speed up the process.
