Hello all! I'm in need of some advice and please forgive me if I say the wrong name for something. I am about to file for K-1 visa for my future wife. She's a Ukraine citizen living in Russia and very recently had to send her passport over to Ukraine to be able to stay in Russia legally until we can get her K-1 Visa. The problem is, since shes sending it from Russia to Ukraine, its going to take quite a few months and the last time she had this Passport they changed her name from Ekaterina to Katerina, we are wondering if this possible name change will cause an issue. As we are trying to kill two birds with one stone, we wanna be together and dont want to wait the months until she gets her passport back. I thought about sending two packets with both names??? It's not like shes changing her name herself and its a variation of the same name. She does intend to go to Ukraine for the interview as Russia will take too long as well.

 

Any advice folks? thanks again

I wouldn't send 2 packages.  That could cause confusion and result in a delay.....
