Hello all,
I am almost ready to submit everything for our I-130 package.
We want to have my wife's green card issued with her married name (my last name). However, her Ecuadorian passport will always be in her maiden name, since Ecuador does not change names on passports due to marriage (Source: 1, 2).
From the second post in this discussion, "the name on your visa must match the name on your passport so if you are wanting to immigrate under your new name you will need to update your passport." Is that correct?
At this point all of the evidence I have gathered is under my wife's married name. Is this going to be a problem when the case goes to the Consulate?
All of the other cases from Ecuador involving name changes that I have found on this site did the K-1 process (which we had originally been doing), so I am not sure what will happen when seeking a CR-1.
Any advice would be appreciated.
