Traveling to the Philippines with old name on passport

[Honey&Bee 1]

Hi guys,

We're going to the Philippines end of April. We're still waiting on my green card, but I have the Work Authorization / advanced parole card, and my name on there is my married name (with my husband's last name). We haven't renewed my passport yet because that doesn't expire until 2017, but we will renew it once I get my greencard.

I know we will have to carry a copy of our marriage license with us, but other than that, would there be an issue? And in the tickets, my name should be what's on the advance parole card, right?

Thanks for all your responses!

You tickets MUST be in the name on the official government issued ID used for international travel--i.e. your PASSPORT!!! You use the passport to travel just like before. You must make certain you have all approapriate visas based on your home county and the country you are visiting's requirements for your home passport. The only thing the AP or GC does is allow you to be re-abmitted to the US without having a visa in your passport. The marriage certificate is to help the airline people understand that your passport is in your maiden name and the GC is in your married name. If they cannot make the connection they will not let you on the airplane because you do not have a recognized re-entry document to get back to the US--so that is why most recommend you take along a copy of your marriage certificate.

Have a good trip,
