Shouldnt be. I would have her carry her marriage certificate, just in case so she can show the correlation between maiden name and married.

go to your local USCIS office and try to get a stamp on the passport. they will most likely say no first but try and explain the name mismatch. usually they only give the stamp if you have lost the extension letter. but its worth the shot, i've heard many instances they stamped people who are planning overseas travel.

anyways i did travel to canada three times with the letter. 2 times i went through without any trouble, but once crossinssing the lewiston bridge i was held for some time and totally harrased. the ICE people over there had no idea about the immigration law. they told me i have to file the removal of conditions 90 days before the GC expiration (which we all know is not the case) and my case will be denied since i havent done that and they dont know why and how i got the extension. so your experience will depend on where and whom you interact with.
