 |
|
 Hi Good day everyone! I am a filipina who just got married to an American working as a professor in South Korea. My concern is about the letter of invitation that my hubby sent to me. He asked it from the University dle name now that I am already married. Do you think it would cause problem when I apply my visa? Should I have it changed to my right middle name? or it wouldn't matter? Please help me with this. Thanks!

I can't say for the law in Korea, but usually in the U.S., when a woman gets married, she drops her family name, and takes on the husband. For example, someone named Jennifer Alexis Smith was marrying John Harold Doe, she would lose the "smith" name, and be called Jennifer Alexis Doe.
Hope that helps. |

Koreans don't really understand Filipino middle and married names. That said, we always had the right names on everything. But I spent a lot of time telling people in Korean, "when foreign women get married, they change their names."
I would try to get the letter re-done with the proper name, but it MAY be possible to explain your way out of it. |
