keeping maiden name

[bawaa 0]

Let's say I choose CR-1 instead of K-1. Will there be any problem in filling out DS-230 and other forms if I dont intend to change my maiden name to my husband's last name until CR-1 is approved? Do I need to put anything under 'Other names used' in form DS-230? thanks

My wife will never change her name so I can't imagine it being a problem married does not mean same name it means just proof of marriage status

I never changed my name and my CR-1 visa was written in my maiden name. A name change has no bearing on the validity of a marriage. As for the DS-230, unless you've used any other names than your maiden name, you'd just use your maiden name and place N/A where it requests other names used.
