Timeline

i'm getting married next month to an American citizen and we want to file for my CR1 right after as he just found out he is being repatriated sooner than planned (jJan 2016 ilo Jan 2017).

Before we knew he was going back earlier we bought plane tickets for spending Xmas with his family in U.S.

I've been told that after you file for CR1 you usually can't get a tourist VISA. Is that true? If so, that will make impossible to issue a new passport with my married name and get a tourist VISA to spend Xmas with him and his family.

My current passport (on my maiden's name) is still valid and I have a B1/B2 VISA that is good until 2021. Is there any problem entering US with my passport with my maiden's name if I'm already married? I will be returning after New Year's as I still have both work and personal commitments in Brazil.

I appreciate any help.
