i-130 last name question

[An D 27]

Hi,

Filing I-130 but need clarification on if I should enter my spouse beneficiary's married name as her name on everything or maiden name?

We had performed an online marriage in Utah while together in the Philippines. The marriage certificate does not list her name as my last name, but her maiden name. We're in the process of reporting the marriage to the Philippines (San Francisco consulate), and after that is completed, she can get her Philippines passport updated to her married name as well once there is a PSA copy of the certificate, right? But, what if the I-130 gets toward the end before her passport can be updated to reflect her married name? Will this cause issues since she will have no Philippines identification with her married name, but the I-130 is all in her married name? Or is the maiden name remaining on the passport and other identification irrelevant in the I-130 process, despite it being filed with her new married name?

use the married name on petition as it gets to be a hassle to change it later

u will add maiden name on the petition as "all other names used"

No issue, as long as she presents a passport with her married name at her visa interview.
