I came here to the U.S under a K-1 visa and married 4 yrs.ago

- I receive my 10yr green card last yr.

- been separated for 2 yrs. now

- my Philippine passport expired 2014 the reason I am procrastinating renewing passport is because my marriage wasn't reported in the Philippines and it is under my maiden name and all of my credentials that I am using now is under my married name.(including my Green card). My question is there anyway I can renew my passport without the report of marriage in the Philippines since I'm getting a divorce this yr.? Also, I wanted to know if what the requirements for renewing a passport before I fly to the Philippine consulate in Washington D.C? thank you!

I agree with Hank. Think this is something that should be discussed with the Washington D.C Philippine Consulate. In my opinion, I have a feeling that you are going to have to back track and do your ROM first then once the divorce is final then you will need to do additional paperwork to clear your divorce with Phil government.

Just a note of importance, if he is filing against you for the divorce then you will be able to complete the paperwork to enable you to remarry if you so desire in the future. But if you filed it against him then you will need to go through the tough process of annulment in the Philippines to remarry in the Philippines if you return to the Philippines to live. Otherwise, if you remain in the US and you want to remarry to a USC then no problems to whom initiated the divorce.

No need to explain anything as I am not asking about your situation only providing some information.

It would help others if you were to return to this forum thread and let us know what you find out in what you need to do. Thanks and good luck.
