Good day!
I would like to verify if it is ok that that was my ISSUED VISA marital status is SINGLE.
I completed my DS260 when I was still single, i just added my husband as my dependent recently and we were interviewed at the same time.
 
I was not able to update my marital status during the embassy interview to MARRIED. But in all my documents I am still using my Single surname (Maiden name). I have not change yet any of the documents to my husband’s last name. 
 
Just to make things clear, so that I won't be having any problems., can you please verify if it is OK to use the ISSUED VISA with the SINGLE status and just provide our marriage certificate in the port of entry , or do I need to give it back to US embassy Manila for correction.
 
NEED YOUR ADVISE.. hoping for your replies.. thanks!!!

if you applied for a K1 visa you were suppose to remain single 

you can not be during the process and update to married

you needed to cancel this and reapply for CR1

you could receive a ban if it is found out you married

For which visa did you apply?  What visa was issued?

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Important to discern the facts before answering

 

She filled out the DS-260 , that tells you it was an immigrant visa

 

YMMV

Those were my thoughts as well.......I'm just confused as to why the DS-260 was done before marriage.

Eb-3 immigrants visa. I was still single when i completed the DS-260 form. When my PD became current i added my husband as dependent. We were interviewed in manila us embassy at the same time and provided our marriage certificate. I was not able to ask the personel during the pre-screening to update my marital status. My visa was issued, but single status. 

 

I am still using my maiden name in all my documents..  

my question is, can I use the issued visa with single status in the port of entry? And provide our marriage certificate., or i have to return my passport and visa packet to US embassy manila for correction.  Thanks very much!
