Alamir,

The I-130 would have been a good place to begin using your married name, but since you passed that one up you can start with your visa application documents.

In any event the name on the visa will match the name on the passport.

You should talk with NVC about it. It won't be a big deal for them to note the change and advise you accordingly.

simple_male,

Not necessary. Q 2 on the DS-230 explains it all.

Yodrak is correct. This will not be an issue, question #2 on the DS230 does explain it.

Even in the event it is the petitioner who changed their name, it is no problem. I was in the middle of my name change with the Social Security Administration when I submitted our I-130. I used both maiden and married last name hyphenated on the petition. My W2s for 2006 are going to be in my maiden name, there is no issue with that either. It is obvious to them that this is a marriage petition and the chances of a name change are fairly high if the petitioner is a woman.
