Hello Everyone,

So this time i need your help.

My passport expired last month, and...i need to renew it.

The problem is that i really dont know if i should do it with my married name or my maiden name.

The hardcopy i sent to the chicago lockbox was from my previous passport, and i was wondering....if i changed it in this new passport that would bring problems.

I didnt do it before because to be honest i wasnt expecting to do it all brand new i was hoping they extended the expiration date,but apparently they dont do that anymore.

Oh well... what do you think?

No, there won't be a problem. Get your new passport with the name you want. When you get your NOA2, just send an email to NVC with petitioners name, D.O.B and beneficiaries name, D.O.B and tell them your name has changed. Also, attach a copy of your new passport to email as proof of name change. They'll make the change on any new notifications you receive in the future. This is what I did.

Get it in your married name, it will be easier once you enter the U.S. There won't be any problems at the interview or anything.

I had sent the bio page of my passport with maiden name, and at the interview I brought my new passport with married name. Green card was issued under married name when I entered the U.S.

No, it won't bring any problems, but your green card and social security card will be issued under your maiden name.
