Hi, I got an RFE for using an expired passport for my joint sponsor. I have her birth certificate, but that shows her maiden name. She changed her surname when she married, and kept the new name after divorce. If I submit her birth certificate as proof of US citizenship, will it cause any issues with the surname being different? Thanks

You will need lawful change of name document(s).  
 

i would  submit the sponsor’s marriage certificate and divorce decree.  You might be able to get away with just the divorce decree or just the marriage certificate.  I think the former is more likely to succeed.
