Hi Everyone,

 

My wife and I live in the US. We were married here under K1 and she took my last name. Her maiden name is on her Philippine passport. Her 2 year green card shows her new name.


We are buying tickets for her to travel home but not sure of what name to put on the tickets. I believe she needs her maiden name, but want to double check. I imagine she won't have trouble getting out of the US and into the Philippines with her maiden name. But what about leaving? She technically doesn't have a K1 visa. Is the green card sufficient to exit the Philippines? But then I run into the issue that the plane ticket has her maiden name. 

 

Another issue is we never notified the PH embassy that we were married. Will that cause travel issues?

 

Sorry, this is the first time she's going to travel since getting her GC. 

 

Thanks!

Use name on PP 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Make sure to book the tickets using her passport name.  As mentioned above, have your wife bring a copy of your marriage certificate to link her passport name with her GC name.
