Do I still need to attend CFO’s GCP if I am travelling to the Philippines with my Combo Card?

[icedcoffee014 0]

Hi everyone! My husband and I are travelling back to the Philippines soon. I just have sa few concerns that I hope I can get answers from here:

 

1. My combo card has my married name while my PH passport has my maiden name. Will I have a problem in immigration in PH and in the US?

2. I came here on a J1 visa and had my CFO sticker before I left the PH. Now that I am coming back home to the PH with my husband and using my combo card, do I still need to get another CFO sticker or certificate? 
 

Thank you everyone

They wont ask for CFO again.  Also when you go to leave make sure to stop by the TIEZA counter and ask for your travel tax exemption.  Bring your marriage certificate to explain the name change.

Hello! Thank you so much for answering. This is really helpful! I’ll put this in mind. Okay, I’m worried with this GCP seminar from CFO. Will they just ask for my combo card then in PH immigration?

Yea.  BI will definitely look at your combo card. The combo card show's you are resident in the US.  They only time they ever look for CFO is if you are leaving for the first time with an immigrant visa.  Since you are resident in the US you will never need CFO again.
