Yeah. Got it. I’m thinking my lawyer probably is not familiar of that process/law for name change after marriage in the philippines and thought that middle name equivalent of typical american format should not change when you get married (Mary Ann, where Ann is the middle name and it wouldn’t change at all after marriage). correct me if I’m wrong, What I’m getting is at this stage, since I-130 has been approved, I only have to list my wife’s name on the DS260 as her name in her passport and that should be okay and acceptable for NVC to approve and won’t be an issue? Thanks!

Got it. Will this be a problem for the application approval, though? I mean they won’t reject it? Thanks.

I received the visa application account creation earlier from NVC and I noticed that on my wife's full name, it lists her First name, Maiden Middle Name, and my Last name. I know I asked my lawyer when he initially sent my I-130 because the submitted name on the application for my wife uses her Maiden Middle Name as her middle name on the application. The name change is due to us being married and her adopting my last name. In the Philippines, I know they tend to carry the husband's last name, their maiden last name as middle name, and first name as a complete name (First, Middle, Last order). Her current passport has her maiden last name as middle name listed. Will this be a problem or does NVC/US Embassy know of this format and they will accept it. I just wanted to know if anybody here knows, or has been on the same boat. TIA
