I was just thinking...I sent in my I-130 docs and filled out everything with my married last name as I had already changed my social security to show my new last name. Under other names used I did mention my name with my birth last name. Now, the passport copies that I sent show my birth last name, would that be a problem?

I do not think that should be a problem as we plan to do ours same way.

But let's wait see if others have different opinions or similar past experience.

Touch or no-touch is not relevant. As long as USCIS doesn't get a false hit with your name during their criminal record search, you should get it in around 90 days.

My passport copies also showed my maiden name. The only place I changed my name was with the Social Security Administration. I haven't bothered to get a new passport and the consul looked through my passport with my maiden name and said nothing about it. I had no problems with the petition approval or at the interview. My petition was approved with not one single touch.

I am the petitioner and I originally used my married name (as instructed per visa call center), I have not changed my Social Security card yet and my passport is still in my maiden name. When I received my letter of approval they had addressed it to my maiden name. So I got the message-- I will just use my maiden name from here on out through the process. Bum info. from that visa call center!
