My husband already filed our I-130 and we decided to file it with my married surname (husband's surname). He added my maiden name in "other names used". We knew that I could update my name on passport during the wait period. We also knew CR1 Visa / LPR are issued to the name on the passport at the time of interview, as long as that name was mentioned in form I-130.
However, after applying for an updated passport we discovered that my country laws only allow to ADD husband's surname to the maiden name, but not REPLACE it.
To replace it, apparently we have to go through a much lengthier process of changing citizenship card, re-apply for passport, repay fees, update all other civil documents, etc.
So my new passport has my maiden name as a middle name, and husband's surname. But this three part name (given + maiden + married) was not mentioned in "other names used" in form I-130.
Will this be a problem? We are okay with the maiden name being included in LPR if it will not cause issues, as the alternative is a big hassle.
Would appreciate if anyone could share similar experiences with surname change / addition.
