Need advice on filling out 1-130 for my Spouse

[lixer 0]

Hey,

I'm in the process of filling out I-130 for my wife. I'm confused about under what name should I file her case.

My wife is in the process of changing her last name over to mine but our marriage certificate has her maiden name is listed.

Should I file I-130 under the new name or her maiden name (listed on our marriage certificate)?

Thanks

If she wants to change her last name over to yours she should file with the new name.

They ask for "maiden name" or "other names used"

Use here current legal name. If her name changed or is in the process of changing due to marriage, file in the married name. She needs a new passport too, if that's the case.

Oh sorry. You file for a visa and she is still in her home country. I didn't think about that.

Sorry my fault.
