But our marriage is not yet registered in the Philippines 

 

Neither is ours.  But it doesn't matter because you are still considered married in the Philippines, according to the Family Code of the Philippines.  The US consulate knows this.  So your NBI clearance must list your husband's surname and indicate that you are married under "Civil Status".

My wife showed our Costa Rica marriage certificate.  NBI accepted that and issued her NBI Clearance as civil status married and my name as husbands name.  They were the only Philippine government office that did so without a ROM.

Nice! I hope they would do the same as mine. Were you issued visa after you submitted the updated nbi of your wife?

She's been here in the US for some time now.  She didn't need an AKA for my name since she was listed as married and my name as husbands name.  She did need an AKA because her birth certificate was legitimated with her fathers surname  sometime after it was registered so she needed an AKA with her mother's surname.  In your situation I understand that the embassy would accept either an NBI Clearance as single with AKA with your husbands name,OR an NBI Clearance as married with your husbands name.  The embassy is not so concerned about marital status on the clearance as they are that you have your husband's surname on there somehow, since it is a name you are legally entitled to use whether you chose to or not.
