passport with old last name

[b1978 0]

Hi everyone,

I have a two questions and am wondering if anyone can help.

We now just entered the NVC stage. My wife still has a passport with her maiden name on it. In all of the paperwork I sent to USCIS we used her new last name and listed her maiden name under previous names used. I have a few questions, perhaps someone might be able to answer.

1) Will it be a problem putting her immigrant visa in her old passport with her old name?

Secondly, I think she wants to get a new passport. I noticed when we fill out the DS-230 that we must include a copy of her biographical page of her passport. If we include that from her old passport, and then she gets a new passport before her interview.... would there be a problem putting her immigrant visa in her new passport?

Thanks for your help everyone,

Brandon

They could do it in Sydney so I don't see why they can't do it in other consulates too

depends on the consulate issuing the visa. Denmark requires the names to match, so you better check with your consulate.

i went and got my passport changed before i reached the NVC process.. i am going to the sydney consulate but i wanted to be sure it was all streamlined.

i ordered my passport only a week ago, and they've already emailed to say its approved and on its way to me in the mail!

if only the CR1 process was that quick hehe

i personally cant WAIT to see my married name on my passport
