I-130 Change of Passport?

[bluebird74 34]

Hey everyone. Couple of quick questions that came to mind, my wife and I got married and she took my Last Name. Now, we are about to file the I-130. Her EU passport bares her maiden name only. Does she have to change her passport before we file the petition or is it ok to send the copy of that passport and just fill in all the details about different names? Also, on I-130 form, do I put her details as Mrs Myname or her maiden name?

as far as I know the EU do not issue passports.

Put her new married name on forms. List maiden name where asked other names used. She can keep the passport she has, bearing in mind it costs more and takes longer to renew from the US. Her decision might depend on how long is left on the current passport. Even of you file the petition and she should decide on a new one before interview and visa, that is okay too.

Last time I checked, this was not a comedic forum, but thanks for pointing out your sense of humor. Looks as though, you have missed the part of my intent to keep my wife's nationality an on need-to-know basis only. Anyway, thanks for NOT answering my question.

Thank you for clarifying this. Her passport is still good for another 8+years, but I figured she would have to change it before the interview at least - in order to get her visa affixed. We will be filing through DCF, so I guess she should start thinking about getting the new passport shortly.

Nevermind. Just saw you have a bit of attitude. Deleting.

Perhaps you misunderstood. My question was not about whether or not EU issues passports, but you knew that since you replied and answered my question. The other user, had obviously picked something to pick on. I would have refrained from pointing this out to him, if he - in addition to that comment, had answered my question just as you have. So, I'm having an attitude? I was very polite. I've been using this portal since its inception (different username then) and I had never had anyone tell me I had an attitude. That's ok though. There's a first time for everything
