I've already posted this, but didn't get an answer. I thought I had found one myself, but I think I was mistaken. Now, before I mail everything and get an RFE, I'd like to ask you all.

My husband's mother is our joint-sponsor. She currently go by her married name (even though she is currently divorced). In the I-864, I've included her W2s and well as tax papers for the last three years. Everything has her married name. However, her birth certificate is in her maiden's name. She doesn't have her marriage certificate. So, I am wondering if this is something that will require an RFE or if, because they have her SSN, it's something that they can confirm on their own?

Again, sorry for double posting. Feel free to delete one of the two posts. :)

We were in the same situation with my mom. I think that's pretty normal for the birth certificate to be different from the W-2s, etc. since people frequently get married. I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't know your circumstances, but why aren't you using her passport as proof of ID instead of a birth certificate? Her passport is equally good for proving nationality/citizenship and it must be on her married name.

Birth certificates are issued on the person's maiden name and that's usually acceptable, but for this purpose you may be required to prove that it's the same person you're talking about.

Why can't she order her marriage certificate from the County she got married at? That would serve as proof of name change for your purposes, and it's fairly easy to obtain.

Thank you for your answer!

She doesn't have a passport and I was hoping to not have to bother her with any more paperwork request. But, if it's what we need, I guess I will have to.
