USC's mother wants to use her maiden name on the paperworks for the petition

[MamaLove 0]

Hello VJ members, kabayans, everybody.

My USC/Fil co-worker/friend will petition her mother from the Phils. Her Father and Mother are still married but no longer living together for 2 decades now. in short, Father is "sumakabilang-bahay" (english >> went to other nest) (grins). No contacts at all with the dad. For them, He's a total stranger.

Her Mother wants to use her maiden name on all the papers. Can they do that? Will it affect the whole immigration process? As i look at the requirements, they won't be needing a marriage certificate and she's not intending to petition the father any time or in the near future.

On behalf of my shy but sweet co worker friend, thank you for all the response.

Just make sure the name matches on all paperwork.

I think it's ok to use her maiden name but her paperwork should match all the documents such as Passport, NBI, Foreign Police Clearance (if applicable) and her name on Petitioner's Birth Certificate.

I petitioned my Mother and her name on my birth certificate is married name but she and my father is not married at all. I used her maiden name on all the paperwork and all her documents is on her maiden name.
