Thank you guys. Yeah im so worried about these cause i am out of status before i got my GC.

Yes, i have stop over at Korea too because i have a connecting flight.

Yeah, im worried about the CFO thing because Philippine immigration might not let me board the plane without a sticker. :-)

My husband's gift to me this Christmas is a roundtip ticket to the Philippines. I have a few quetions and i hope you can help me:

1. I am on Conditional GC, do I need a re-entry permit?

2. When Im in the Philippines, what are the requirements that I need to do to have CFO on my passport?

I just dont have the time to go to the Philippine Embassy, which is located at another state to do a report of marriage and get my Marriage Certificate Authenticated. I read that this is a requirement in getting a CFO sticker on my passport so that I can come back here in the US.

Please tell me what step I should do? Thank You.

Thank you so much. You're answers helped me relieved my anxiety.

1) No.

2) Bring a copy of your marriage certificate along with you, to document the disparity in your name (married name vs. maiden name).

3) Not unless you are otherwise inadmissible; the overstay is no longer an issue since you have a green card.

Yes, RELAX. That is why you have the GC--to be able to re-enter the US after a short trip abroad.

Have a great trip,

Dave

correct, you need the tickets to match the same name that's on the passport, come back home to the united states you show your green card for insurance bring along your marriage certificate you will be fine, have a wonderful time safe trip,

I am going to visit the Philippines nextweek and will be there for 2 weeks, i ' ve heard i have to get CFO when i come back to the US. How does this work?

I got married in the US this year and got my GC through my spouse. I did not do a report of marriage at the Philippine Embassy. I dont think I have the time to do all the requirements since my flight is nextweek.

Will i have trouble getting my CFO sticker since i didnt do a report of marriage abroad? My greencard is my maiden name but my passport is my maiden name. Also, i just renewed my passport this January 2013.

Please advice. Thank you.

Hi.

I would like to ask and update about this topic because Immgoing through the same thing right now. Do i need that CFO before coming back to the US? I have my greencard though. Thanks.

I got my Conditional GC via adjustment of status when my husband petitioned me 9 months ago. I havent been home for almost 8 years so he and my dad pitch in and got me a rountrip ticket this Christmas as a gift. I am so happy but anxious as well. I have alot of things running on my mind and i would like to hear your thoughts on these:

1. I will be out of the country for exactly 35 days, my husband is staying here in the US. Do i need to get a re-entry permit before leaving?

2. My passport is on my maiden name but my GC and Other documents are under my married name. Will I encounter any problem on my trip? My plane ticket is my maiden name.

3. Since I was out of Status for awhile, but now on Conditional GC, is still possible that I encounter problems when i come home here in the US?

Is there any other steps I need to do before i leave the US?

All anWers are highly appreciated. Thank you.
