is it TIO LATE ammending name on the CR1/ using MARRIED name

[Robby and Bern 5]

We filed our I130 using my maiden name. Our case got approved and is now at the NVC, submitted AOS documents and now waiting for IV bill.

I wanted to use my married name and ammend my name on the application. Is it too late to do that at this stage? Will it delay the processing?

I think you can fill out your visa application with your new name. But mostly importantly in order to get your visa and subsequently your green in your married name, you need to change your passport right away to reflect the married name, as the visa and green will be issued in any name that is in passport.

What is on your passport? married or maiden name?

[Robby and Bern 5]

Maiden name. I am planning on getting my passport renewed using my married name and submit it to NVC. I am just worried it might cause delays in processing.

I have a similar issue and want to change my passport BEFORE the interview but am worried it will affect the process....

I guess the question you both have to ask your selves is, "Which is more important to me? Having my married name on my legal documents in the US or a quick uninterrupted process?" If the time required to get a new passport is not that long or the interview date is a long way out, then getting a new passport will not affect the processing time. However, if the passport processing time extends beyond the interview date, you will delay the issuing of your visa until you get your new passport. Up to you to decide which is more important to you--name verses processing time.

Good luck,

Dave

Thanks. I know Jamaica has an express service so I am trying to do that with space well BEFORE the interview date. I will update if I do this and see how it goes.
