chevydjak, thank you very much for your reply. . actually my wife already went to NSO serbilis center in our city just today and will get the authenticated certificate soon . . we got married in the phils just last month during my vacation. . so after getting authentication she just need to go to DFA for red ribon, is it correct? . . . and regarding her passport , does she need to change her surname to my surname or we can use it as it is? . . thanks in advance. .

God bless
