Hi everyone. Just curious as to what other people have done. My interview for AOS is Oct 16. You think it will cause any problems that my passport is in my maiden name and all of my apps were done in my married name? I'm going to add my married name to my passport when i am able to travel to canada again. I hate the thought of my passport travelling in the mail, so i'd rather do it in person. (Our marriage certificate got lost in the mail mad.gif .... but we do have one now smile.gif ). Thanks.

I don't think there will be too much trouble. We haven't done anything yet to change Pras' (Indian) passport to married name--we'll maybe do it after AOS.

Our AOS interview is on 10/13 (just before yours).

No issues here with my passport still being in my maiden name at the time of interview. I don't think it really matters. You have a marriage certificate to prove your name change. I think immigration understands that you may just want to wait until your passport to expire before changing the name on it. That's what I did. I also didn't want to risk parting with my passport before the interview. Showing up at the interview without the passport would be alot worse than not having your married name in it.
