ROM Neccessary?

[Ginsay 0]

Is an ROM (report of Marriage) necessary for me and my fiance after we get married? and if so, does anyone know what consulate is in charge of Ohio?

 

She is a Philippine National who came here on a k1 visa, I was born in the US. I don't know what other information would be pertinent

According to the map on the embassy website, the Chicago consulate is yours.  There is info for ROM also, under Other Services

If your wife wants her passport in her married name ROM is necessary.   If she wants to use her married name for anything in the Philippines ROM is necessary 

 

Oh ya, the process can be done by mail.

Exactly as @Hank said. It is not completely necessary unless she wants to get a passport in her married name.

My wife has her Philippine Passport in her married name, her postal ID in her married name and bank accounts in her married name.  I honestly can't believe how easy it was to do.  It was not what I expected at all.  It was all accomplished within a couple weeks of receiving the PSA marriage certificate.  This was very unlike the Philippines.

A filipino passport to be precise, correct? in other words she can still get an american passport once she has been naturalized.

Can she still use the current one until it expires?

Yes sir, a Filipino passport. But her still using her maiden name passport to visit the Philippines is perfectly fine as well and there are no problems at all in doing that.

That is because your wife is still in the Philippines, it is much harder when you try to do it here in the USA.

Yes...although note that naturalizing will remove her Philippines citizenship and she will need to apply to regain it.

Ya but you were married in the Philippines and she did it all in the Philippines.  Big difference

Yes I was talking Philippine passport.    And yes she can use the passport that is in her maiden name, just need to carry a copy of her marriage certificate

 

Your wife can get her U.S. passport ( in 3 years after she is a USC) in her married name without issue (or any name she chooses during the citizenship process   )

We never did it, and never plan on doing it.
