My Philippine wife will soon be ready for her interview. She has a valid passport up until 2013, but it is still in her maiden name. Will this cause any problems for her when she tries to gain entry to the United States? Should we try to get it amended to show her married name? I am worried that if we try to get it changed, we might not get it back in time.

If we get it amended, is it the same processing time as if she were applying for a brand new passport?

Thanks

Passport name makes no difference as the visa and green card will be issued in the name on the passport submitted during the st lukes medical exam. As far as getting a new passport in married name,,, the processing time is the same as getting new passport... my wife changed her passport after the nvc stage and before the st lukes exam... the consulate changed the immigration paperwork to reflect the name change...

regards,
