When my husband (then my fiance), his mum and I travelled to America together for our wedding, I was in charge of booking the tickets. Nobody bothered to tell me that her passport was in her married name, because she uses her maiden name exclusively for all other purposes, so I booked it in her maiden name. We didn't even pick up on this issue until we were an hour outside of JFK, and they were filling in their I-94Ws! Of course she didn't have her marriage certificate with her, because no one had even flagged there would be an issue before we left. It hadn't caused an issue with the Delta check-in staff on the Gatwick end, and when they went through immigration in New York no one noticed it. There were no problems on the way back to London either.

I guess the fact that she is a sweet-looking 70-year-old lady (and a professional actress to boot -- so she can milk that sweet and dotty thing something good!) might have helped, but we were all scratching our heads as to why nobody at Delta or immigration ever mentioned the discrepancy...but we're not complaining! :blush:

It isn't an immigration issue. They are only concerned you have a valid passport and visa if required and if the immigration rules require it a return ticket. It doesn't matter to them what name you use only that the documents refer to the person presenting them.

I've never been asked my US immigration to show a return ticket just my passport.
