I130 approval name change

[Bere 25]

Hello,

 

my husband petitioned for me in January of 2021. In the petition we used my maiden name and got the i130 approval last month. However my passport and ID have my husbands last name and we have to submit this to NVC.  Is this going to be an issue?

The visa is issued with the passport holder’s name.

Correct. Dealings with NVC including affidavit of support and DS260 should be in the married name.

I applied in under my maiden name passport. I sent everything with that passport number and name even after I got my married name passport. When I went to my interview I showed them my old (maiden name) passport then my new passport. They didn't even flinch. She just said "oh you just changed your name to your married name" and continued on. It's a very common thing. They took my new passport to put my visa in, completely seamless. Just make sure you have your passport you applied with that's most important.
