Do I need a new passport in my married name?

"Will I need to get a new passport in my married name before the actual interview? Or can they approve the visa in my passport with my maiden name it, my maiden name passport still has 4 years left before it expires."

Thanks Trailmix for your reply in the other forum. When we completed the paperwork for the the I-130 we used my married name.

I will be changing things over to my married name once I return to Canada, but I have an international trip coming up and the tickets are already purchased in my maiden name. It will be awhile until the immigration process is completed, I am hoping it will not be as long as Feb-July 2010 (I was hoping to miss the whole 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, amongst other things.) So I was curious as to when I have/need to change my passport.

Thanks,

Janet
