We recently visted the consulate in Houston for my wife to change her name on her passport after receiving the ROM. They said it would take 8 months to get the PSA document in order to do the name change. If she wanted to travel to the Phils, I know she would not have a problem entering, but upon her return, her ticket would be a mismatch between her passport and Green Card. Has anybody traveled to/from the Phils with a paaport in the maiden name and green card in the married name. Thanks

Hello everyone! My dad received his visa today (yay!). Can I purchase his plane ticket myself here in the US directly on the airline website or does he need to purchase one himself in the Philippines because they might ask for proof of payment? I ve read somewhere that this is the case but might be an outdated policy? Your input will be greatly appreciated!

Trying to help my sister-in-law in the Philippines, fill-out her DS-160 form for a tourist visa. We had to stop after very 1st page so we SAVE. When we go back to RETRIEVE, we follow the directions regarding application ID number and security questions but it keeps stating that the information is wrong. I am 99% sure that it is not., but none the less, stuck.

my question is, would starting over with another application be a problem, considering that her name and birthday (and possibly other identifying info.) are already in the system?

it HAS NOT been submitted only just started.

Just finished my medical today. They didn't give me a sealed envelope or my xray film. Is this what they do now? I asked and they said they'll be the one to forward it to the embassy. Asking since I saw somewhere that I would be given a sealed envelope and my xray film after the medical. Pls enlighten me with this. Thank you
