I got married last year and last Feb 2010 the consulate gave me one year extension with my passport. Since im already here in my country i decided to renew my passport this afternoon while i was there i encountered some problems coz of my dumbness i didnt know that i need to file the Marriage Contract and get it authenticated here in Philippines.. In short i still dont have a record that im already married here in Philippines coz my MC is registered in US.. And theyre asking me some papers too if i want to use my married name. But since im running out of time to process everything again plus i need to go back in US asap i just decided to renewed my passport with my maiden name again with still "single status". Can i still amend it later on?? Am i not going to have problem goin back to US? My old passport will goin to expire on Feb 2011... and right im jz waiting for the delivery of my renewed passport..

You know you could do the renewal in the US? Although I dont know where you are living...but of course you would have had to make a personal appearance to the embassy in your area. I know it is much cheaper to do it in the philippines though.

I was reading..I think on the DFA site that you can just get it amended...

You shouldnt have a problem going back to the US as long as you have your greencard.

yes, you can have it amended when you come back to the US.

no, you won't have a problem coming back if you have our AP (i assume you have it coz it shows in your status that your AOS is still pending?)
