I am preparing to send off my I-129F for a K1 Visa. The instructions say to send proof of name change if using a name other than that on relevant documents.

I was married once before and had my name changed at that time but my passport and all my other documents include my previous married name. The only document I have that differs is my birth certificate.

My question is: Do I need to send a copy of my former marriage license to show that my name changed from my birth certificate?

or

Is this requirement only for those using the I-129F form for the K3 visa?

I would send the copy of your former marriage license and your divorce certificate. I would think its independent of what you are applying for cause they want to know what all your names were so that they can check their databases. If necessary attach a sheet explaining how your name changed.

NOA1 - 12/21/15

NOA2 - 04/18/16

NVC Receive - 04/29/16

NVC Welcome - 05/13/16

DS-261 - 05/14/16

AOS, IV PAID - 05/27/16

DS260 done - 06/10/16

Case Transferred to US Embassy in Riga Latvia at the end of October.

If you really want it, you'll find a way!
