leaving the US

[Krikit 1,163]

The check-in people at Gatwick hadn't made an issue of it, nor the security people, not anybody. But we were all bricking it when we got to JFK (well, my MIL not so much because she's one of life's chilled out, happy people!). Were the IOs going to make an issue of it and deny her entry to the US, just days before her son's wedding?

Nobody mentioned anything. Not at immigration, not on the way back to Britain. Weird.

@ bolded bit. Wow. That was a lucky break. I would have been bricking it too.

It's one of my faves! I can slip it by Americans* all the time without them having any idea what I'm talking about.

*I mean, my fellow Americans.

WOW... that's a lot of infos, thank you guys for sharing this and your experience with me... I will call the airline though I think, just to make sure... Oh, and I think I'm not even gonna get a new passport, it's good for 4 more years and if it doesn't matter if it's a different name than on the GC (as long as I have my marriage certificet) I'll save myself some money and some stress ( @ Tex'n'Brit)

Thanks again to everybody!!!!!
