    Philippines NBI Clearance Seperate or combined names??

    in Philippines

    Posted

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    My Filipina wife is being given the run-around by the NBI in Cebu, Philippines. They are telling her she cannot get an NBI Clearance in her maiden name now because she is married. So they ended up giving her one that included her full maiden name including her mothers maiden name that was dropped when we were married. Let me explain.

    Her maiden name was: Zoila Mae Acebeo Alburo. When we were married her name was changed to Zoila Mae Alburo Olsten, although that combination is nowhere to be found anywhere on our wedding certificate. In fact there is not designation on our Philippines marriage certificate that gives her married name in any form.

    Her passport that she got after we were married reads Zoila Mae Alburo Olsten. The Acebedo name was dropped. The uncooperative lady at the NBI gave her one NBI Clearance only that reads exactly like this: ALBURO de OLSTEN, ZOILA MAE y ACEBEDO

    Everything I read says the spouse needs 2 NBI Clearances, one in their maiden name and one in their married name. As far as I can tell the NBI clearance we have now is not good for either name because her name is not Zoila Mae Acebedo Alburo Olsten on any other document we have as of this date.

    To review: Her birth certificate reads Zoila Mae Acebedo Alburo and her Philippines passport reads Zoila Mae Alburo Olsten.

    So WHAT DO WE DO NOW? She is afraid she will be arrested if she goes back to NBI because she says the form asks if she is married and if she lies and says she is not she thinks she will get arrested.

    My suggestion was for her to simply line up 2 times at NBI. The first time getting an NBI Clearance in her maiden name using her birth certificate and the second time using her new Philippines Passport to get a clearance in her married name. We were married in September 2012 and I have to assume the US government wants to make sure she has not been arrested under her new name.

    Is the NBI clearance she got going to be accepted by the VISA people here or should she go and get two separate NBI clearances???? PLEASE HELP....

    WHAT SHOULD WE DO???
