Has anyone had any issues applying for a Schengen Visa (for tourism travel) when your Passport has your maiden surname, and Green Card has your married surname? Will the EU accept a copy of the marriage certificate to prove name change?

Timeline:

10-Mar-2017 - Sent I-129f application from Bangkok to the Texas lock box, via Thailand Post Registered Air Mail with Tracking

    <<Letter then sat for 4 weeks (!) in the USPS New York International Service Center before delivery to Texas>> 

    <<Lesson learned: Better to use DHL or FedEx for international mail to the US>>
