My wife came here on a K-1 visa. We are married and awaiting processing of the AOS. She has her EAD card. She also has a State ID card. We plan a trip back to the Philippines in about a year from now.

Her passport is in her maiden name. We will have to purchase her plane ticket in her maiden name.

We plan on getting her passport amended at DFA while in the Phils to show her married name.

We are sending next week the Report of Marriage Contracted Abroad form and the Information Sheet on Filipinos Marrying Foreign Nationals to the Philippine Embassy in Wash DC. This will ensure the records at CFO and DFA reflect our marriage when we travel back to the Phils and get her passport changed.

We plan on purchasing round trip tickets. Now after her passport name change to her married last name her passport name will not match her plane ticket.

Purchasing one way tickets is much more expensive. We are trying to avoid that. When I purchased my round trip ticket to go bring my wife here, I purchased her a one way ticket (800 USD) and myself a round trip ticket (1200 USD). Using Northwest Airlines flying from Charleston South Carolina to Manila.

Has anyone been through this and what did you do to prevent purchasing one way tickets???

Have not done it but my advice would be to take all documentation of your marriage and AOS documents, if you change your ss card take it with you also. Anything that shows the name change, have you asked the airline what they suggest.

I plan on asking the airline here and also sending DFA and Philippine Embassy a letter and see what answers I receive.

One thing is the USA and Philippine airports may have different policies on this?

I took my vacation last May 2009, I bought plane ticket with my married name and I found out that, you cannot enter in to the boarding pass unless your plane ticket and your name into your passport are match , so I have to go the Phil conulate to amend my passport and I found out when your husband are married before and divorce to a filipino citizen . They said I cannot amend my passport because PHIL did not honor divorce, all that they can do is to give me a certification of one of the same person . I got the cerification on the same day with zealed, and my vacation was hassle free !

Hope it help!

your travel will be after a year yet, so she should be getting her GC by then, which should show her married name, which will not match her passport name, and when she changes her passport in the phils, it won't match her ticket name anymore...

get a ticket in your wife's maiden name. she will get her new passport (married name) AND old passport (maiden name) back anyway (unless the DFA changes its policies by then and not give back the old passport). anyway, bring your orig marriage cert too as back up doc at the airport for coming back.

hi, i had my passport change into married name last July when the LA consulate had an outreached here in Arizona. What i did first is sending a report of marriage and all the necesssary requirements they asked, there's a check list there if u will go to phil. consulate website. I sent it a month earlier before the outreached here in AZ. So when i renewed my passport it's under my married name already. I don't have to file for amendment, just submit a report of marriage docs. everything is under my married name now. God Bless.
