Hi everyone,

I am little bit confused. My wife has changed her name after sending the papers to NVC, becuase NVC told us name should reflect marriage. Name change happend after I send the DS-230 to NVC.

Now She got Packet 3.5 from embassy and they are asking again DS230, now which name I should use.

married or unmarried. All her correspondence from embassy + NVC are on maiden name.

please also tell me what information is enough to provide financial information. The embassy wants to have current information at the time of interview according to the NVC letter that I received.

Thank you

Sham

I had this question and was told that everything should match the passport. So if her passport has maiden, you should use maiden.....

I think, it is nto a big deal. You should use the same name as her passport. They will understand the married name vs maiden name thing.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
