We enquired about getting a new passport with maiden name but because she was married and divorded in USA its not so simple as PH need all sorts of certificates and stuff from USA embassy about the divorce - 6 to 12 months quoted to complete the name change.
So my question is do I use the married name (as stated on passport) or maiden name, this would be for the visa application and the English Language test,

Thanks, im going PH on 9th and I need to take all my documents with me which I think will equall 19kg of baggage, leaves me 1kg for 1 x teeshirt and 1 x shorts LOL
I would suggest to bring the final divorce decree to the Department of Foreign Affairs (PH) for the change of name and status...I dont think it will take 6-12 months if proper documents are presented....then next step is the language test and the visa.
good luck

No, they will not be needing Recognition of Foreign Divorce since they are marrying in the UK
