My wife and I have an interview date for a K-3 visa really soon. Her country has been giving her the run around about what she needs to do about changing her passport from her maiden name to her married name. I was wondering if we could go to the interview with her passport still in her maiden name even though the I-129F has her married name?

You cannot get VISA with maiden name. Some say you can travel 30days, but when I checked with many, USCIS, DHS, Embassy, the VISA will be issued in her married name and the Passports, both international and domestic have to say the same name.

My K3 wife's passport was (and still is) in her maiden name. Everything with regard to her US immigration, starting with my I-130 petition, has been submitted in her married name (my surname).

I'd have to look at her passport again to see which name they put on her K3 visa.
