Hi, just wondering if I should use wife's married name on i-130 (cr1) while she waits for the NSO marriage certificate.?The NSO copy is what's  needed to officially change her name on her passport. Will this cause any issues? They say she should have NSO by 9/14/17

For sure use your wife's married name for the I-130 ... not having the passport doesn't matter.  She is married, she has a married name now.

Never heard this. And they didn't tell my wife. Are you sure this is required for name change and not for leaving the Philippines? 

Yes CFO is required if she is going to renew her passport in her married name.  Which I highly suggest, along with filing the I-130 & 130a in her married name.

 

DFA will not renew the passport in her married name without your wife attending CFO GCP seminar if married to a FOREIGNER.
