    Nope, I waa able to do it. First, the SSA allowed my Wife to change her middle and last name per the Philippines custom. Though, they didn’t seem to care what we chose for a name. I then asked them to swap my first and middle last name to match my passport, DL, etc… Previously they told me I needed a court ordered name change for this. But now they agreed to do it based on the marriage certificate which had my first name swapped just like my passport. I then received a new SSN card with my first name changed

    If your spouse has no income, why would you want to file as married filing seperately, instead of jointly? You'll end up paying a lot more taxes in most cases if you do that

    Why don't you file as married jointly, it is usually less total taxes that way unless your spouse that is abroad has a high income and a low tax rate in her country

    You could: - Ask court for a certified letter simply saying "there are no court documents available for this case". Then hope for the best and wait for an RFE before sending any other info. - Or ask your lawyer to file a motion to dismiss the case due to lack of prosecution and pray they don't decide to prosecute. - Or file for a CR1 instead of a K-1.

    You can also ship it to the local LBC office for forwarding to the Philippines.

    Please clarify exactly what your Wife does. For example, does she buy the plane ticket in her maiden name and use a passport in her maiden name? Or for example, does she buy the plane ticket in her married name, and use the marriage certificate in along with her maiden name passport when flying? etc..??

    True, you can get the passport very quickly if you pay the fee for expedited service. Yeah, you can just buy the plane tickets in her maiden name and fly with the current passport. Actually, I wonder if you would have a problem flying back since the new passport name would not match the name in the round-trip ticket, or vice versa. For myself, I wouldn't risk it, I will just book the ticket in her maiden name and fly with her old passport.

    Why don't you update the passport before she goes back to the Philippines? I would imagine that would be a lot safer and avoid delays.
