Question about my name on marriage contract

 Share

Hi, I hope someone can clear this up for me. I am a US citizen. I married my wife in the Philippines in a Civil wedding in April. My question is, will there be a problem that the consular agency that married us put my Mother's maiden name in my name on the marriage contract? It reads: First Name - Middle Name - Moms Maiden Name-Last Name. At the wedding I asked why they did that and the answer I got was "That is how it is done here"

We had other problems with her middle name being misspelled and a problem with the registry number, resulting in Manila returning it and taking a month to do so.

I am just concerned about how my name reads on our marriage contract and will that be a conflict with other forms when I send in the I30 packet.

Thanks

Mark

Can only share my experience on this, wife was in the habit of inserting her maiden name before her marriage name, is that way on our marriage certificate, AOS, and I-751. But learned in the USA, this is confusing like on bank statements, credit cards, and phone directories. So she dropped it on her N-400 application, drivers' license, and SS card. We have absolutely no problems with dropping her maiden name from those documents, not with the USCIS, banks, CC, SS card, DOS, and even with her foreign passport. She is now just Mrs. D. A lot simpler.
