Changing last name

[lucka 0]

Hi

I filed for my wife's Cr1 with her maiden name, now she has decided that she wants to use my last name, How do we go about this? Is it too late?

We have received NOA1 in her maiden name of course and we are assuming that once the case is approved and hits the NVC , all the documents generated are going to be under her maiden name.

If something can be done about this , please let me know.

Thanks

Lucka

My wife as well has her maiden name on all the documents that are generated. We decided to take this route to keep any complications at a distance as all her certifcates from birth and on have been with her maiden name. I dont see why you won't be able to change this later.........I would not worry about that at this point......

I dont think its a problem either. She could always change her name at a leter time

However I read somewhere that later on GC will be issue under the name on her passport irrelevantly under which name(maiden,married) the forms was filled out.

So besides other procedures maybe your wife should change her passport.

She changed her passport already.

She changed her passport already.

Then DS 230 your wife will fill under new name.

Did you married in her country? If so she shoud be able to change rest of the documents.
