I was in a similar situation. When I divorced my first husband (Mr. X) , I did not change my name back to my maiden name (Ms. T). I got married to my current husband using the last name of my first husband.

My marriage certificate reads: Ms. X married Mr. Awesome on this date.

Might I suggest sending in the following with the RFE, if you haven't already:

Copy of your birth certificate

Copy of your marriage certificate from your first marriage

Copy of your divorce decree from your first marriage

The I-130 asks if you have had your name changed for any reason-i.e. previous marriages-that you send in legal documentation that effected the name change. (It's #8 under "What if your name has changed?")

Hope this helps.

Lady Jane,

That is exactly my situation. I sent in both of our birth certificates and my complete divorce decree but I didn't think about sending a copy of the marriage certificate of my first marriage. Thank you soooooo much . Didn't think of that! :) .. Just hope they don't get confused! lol... Did you have any problems with the name difference?

I am wondering if you sent a copy of your complete divorce decree.

Yes. I sent the complete divorce decree but they still want more evidence.

Malak,

I sent in all of those items (i.e. marriage certificates from both marriages, divorce decree and birth certificate) with the initial I-130 submission, but I almost forgot the 1st marriage certificate because it is very easy to overlook. They won't get confused, they just need proper evidence of a legal name change. We had no problems with our I-130 submission, no RFE's.

Good luck! :)

Thank you sooo much for that information! I am gathering everything I need to submit so I will be sure to sumbit that. Do you mind if I add you?
