Right. It’s just an additional name, I mean the middle/ maiden name for the sake of Philippine naming convention. I still have the same name. Thank you for the explanation on this, that makes so much sense to me

Thank you very much!! That makes so much sense. By chance, do you know anyone who had the same situation I do? How was their experience at the port of entry with the immigration officer? I am really worried on that part

Exactly 😫 I had no idea about naming convention before this *huge sigh

Hi! Thanks for sharing your GE experience. Really helps a lot with my situation. Yes, I need assurance because I just has a baby late last year and would want to be very safely assured. But.. why did you say it should not matter.. have you known anyone with a similar situation that has travelled internationally and had no issues without GE?

I finally renewed my passport. I presented my documents including my id, greencard and expired passport. On my driver’s license, I do not have my middle name because I decided to make my name short and simple, first and last name only. But I was told that at the Philippine convention(?), I am married so I should use my maiden name as my middle name. So the lady put my maiden name on my middle name on my application for passport renewal application. This new passport will be my first official document with my first, middle and last name. My question is will I have a problem in the future once I go to Phils and go back to US thru the immigration officer because some of my id’s have no middle name while my new passport has first, middle and last name. If so, what can I do about it to prevent future problems? Has any filipina here had the same problem? What did you do about it? *PS Im sorry for the long post*
