Alex and lyn

Hello!congratulations!Dont worry, the interview wont take a while...In my case it only took less than 15 mins....Actually the consul only asked me 1 questin....it wasnt really a question,,,he said " so introduce your fiance to me"....So it covers almost everything right???so i told him everything i know about my fiace, where he;s working, his family background, his childhood...everything uop to his favorite foods and colors.....and of course our love story...Then after that he stamped my application approved.....its easy! But like you, I was also dead nervous,,,which is normal......

And it would really help if you would label all your documents and compile them in a very organize manner... Lets say in one folder labelled "identification" is your birth certificate, nbi clearance, passport, cenomar...etc.....The consul like it when they see you everything is fixed!I must say its a plus!...And with you pictures, dont put it in an album or at least not something that wont bend easily...coz it might not fit thru their window and you might end up destroying your album....hehehe! Good luck to you both!

Having different names is NOT a problem, book your flight tickets using the passport name. You only need to show the green-card is when you re-enter the USA.

Some carry a copy of marriage cert to show name change if any questions are asked.

If and when you travel home you could get passport amended in foreign country, or just wait until you renew the passport to get name changed in it.

This is a FAQ.


Thank you so much for your reply!!!!!!!!!!! That's a relief for me =) So I just need to use the name on my passport and I should be ok...
So coming back here in the US it wont be a problem either??

No problem, POE os only concerned with seeing the green-card.


YAY!!!!Thanks so much!!!!!!I can sleep well now!!!!!! =) You have a great week ahead!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPassport amendment
Hi everyone. Does anybody know the procedure on how to amend the name on the passport? Just recently my green card was approved. Me and my husband are planning a trip to manila this May. My concern is, the name on my green card and the name on my passport doesn't match (name on my passport is my maiden name). Is it gonna be a problem on the immigrations process in the airport?. Please let me know....Thank you
