Hello everyone, my Filipina national wife's marriage name on her green card (unexpired) is different from her Philippines passport name (maiden name). And she will travel to the Philippines with both the US marriage certificate (marriage name change) and the Philippines Report Of Marriage while traveling to the Philippines.

 

If she updates to a new Philippines passport with her marriage name in the Philippines, will she have problems (with the airline or US immigration) traveling back to the US? Keep in mind that her original K1 visa and the I-485 AOS were filed with the maiden name Philippines passport. Should she at least travel with both the old passport (maiden name) and the new passport (marriage name)?

 

Thanks in advance for any response.

Have you guys reported the marriage to the embassy? If you have then you can update her passport with the married name, if you haven't then you can't. 

My asawa has flown many times from the US to the Philippines with a passport in her maiden name and a green card in her married name

Depending on the airline that will charge a fee to do this.

I checked with Eva Air. They do not change name on the original ticket. The option is to buy a new ticket with updated marriage name that matches the updated passport. Or don't change the passport name until you can buy a new ticket.

Oh that sucks but at least you know now. So just buy the ticket now and carry the documentation with you to show the name change. As I said on another thread my wife has done this many times now without issue at all. The most recent time was back in August when she flew back from Davao to the USA. 

 

Edit: At least you know about EVA Air not doing it. I made the mistake the first time we flew back there in 2014 and Philippine Air charged us $100 to change it

Yes, we have a Philippines Report Of Marriage.

Yes. Maiden name passport and Green card marriage name with US marriage certificate to show name change is probably the way to go.

Theoretically, buying 2 one-way tickets may work with Eva Air, which will cost a little more.

 

Departure ticket in maiden name from US to the Philippines using Philippines passport with maiden name.

 

While in the Philippines, update to new Philippines passport with marriage name.

 

Return ticket in marriage name from the Philippines to the US using the new Philippines passport with marriage name. Eva Air also has an option to input the green card (marriage name) in lieu of passport in their online ticketing.
