Apply now or after correcting wife's birth certificate (name change and birth parent change)

Her name hasn't changed yet. I assume the final CRBA will have her name on it and it should have her name that will ultimately be her legal name. CRBA doesn't ask for birth parents info, just her birth certificate. There is a small chance they will notice the name mismatch between her parent's last name on the i130a and her last name, but that seems unlikely before the NVC stage, but I would likely report it then even without an RFI because her new name will be her legal name when filing I file the DS-260. When I explain the name change I will send the corrected birth certificate with translation and identity card to show proof. 😅

You are correct, I don't see an upload for her birth certificate. I was confused that with the CRBA for our son for which we needed to upload her birth certificate; we had an appointment for that next week and will reschedule it because her mom second last name will change. We have to report her father on the i130a; I need clarification on whether her father is deceased or not to put that on the current residence lines of the i130a. (names are made up) Spouse current name (current birth certificate): Anna de Rio, Diaz Ruiz biological mother: Mary, Garcia Torres biological father: Marco, Diaz Gomez Spouse new name (new birth certificate): Anna, Diaz Garcia There is some chance of an RFI because on the i130a as her biological mother's last name (Garcia) does not match her current second last name (Diaz Ruiz). At least she was never married before and had no name changes since her birth. We will get her foreign passport after her name change and birth certificate is corrected. The question is when do we inform that that a name change occurred for my wife assuming there is now RFI? We won't know if it is delayed waiting an RFI at the initial petition approval stage. Do we wait for it to be transferred to the NVC?

She is in Colombia and never had a need to change. Her mom was under 18 when she had her and her father didn't take responsibility, so wouldn't have been on the birth certificate. I don't think this is uncommon. Her grandparents mostly raised her, so she felt very close to them. We've spent time together with her mom so family is all close. We have a good lawyer that has already help with her kids documents, buying a home and a birth or our son. I am confident in the two month timeline. A judge will change the birth certificate and other docs at the same time.

We want to start the the application process now for i130. The fees add up with 4 children and my wife. I have everything ready and already translated her birth certificate. But, her grandparents were listed as her parents. it will take about 2 months to have all her documents updated. The judge will change birth certificate and marriage certificate and ID all at the same time. we will get passports after that is complete. But I am listing her biological mom on the i-130 and submitting the current valid birth certificate (it is considered valid but is required by law). None of the kids records will change. Do I include a letter documenting my wife's change is in process? When can I update her documentation? Most likely the correction will be completed shortly after it is sent to NVC. Will it cause significant delays?
