really quick question........ HELPS ME!!!! THKS peoples

[matte5299 2]

got approved DHS, doing the on-line DS-260 ( I am the petitioner, in the US) it says they want her name (My wife who is in mexico)

"Help: Surnames,Enter all surnames as listed in your passport or travel documentation. If only one name is listed, enter that as your surname."

Do i use her OLD name? We are married so her name is different, but she is not able to get her passport or travel documents changed.

We have always used her New NAme for obvious reasons, becasue we are married and that is her name. Why would they ask for her old name now?

Thanks ....Brad....Helps meeeeee

Use the name that is on her official documentation. If it is her married name, then use that. If it is still in her maiden name use that. The green card has to be issued in the same name as is in the passport. She needs to have her travel identification and her visa in the same name. The best thing would be for her to get her passport in the name she wants to use in the visa but the two do have to agree.

If you look on official government ids you will find that they have some sort of serial number or unique identifier. That is the number they want - the unique number that is assigned to her in her passport. I don't know what the Mexican passport looks like, but on the US passport (to give you an idea) it is printed on the top right of the photo ID page under where it says 'passport number'.
