i have not yet changed my surname coz i had a couple of exams for which i had registered with my maiden name and which needed my passport. also my lawyer told me that as we were filing with my maiden name it would create trouble if i went ahead and changed my name after i had filed.

is he right or should i change my name. i have the required documents for the same does my passport change or is it just additional pages to it.

has somebody experienced the same. i am from mumbai.

u have to add ur hubby's surname ... i have changed my surname and got my passport changed from bangalore in 3 days.. u have to change ur passport and u can get it in 3 days if u go in person..

Get an affidavit for it from the lawyer of change of name.. and also got to publish cahnge of name in local newspaper .. it might cost u ard 50Rs ..

Ur passport with ur husbands surname to ur name is one of the most impt document for K3 visa

if exams r the prob . u can always produce ur old and new passport as document and request a letter to them beforehand ..

if every paper goes well .. u wont have any delay with visa process .. so its better u get it changed

I have filed the forms with my married name, though my passport is in my madame name. The consulate simply issued the visa in my madame name and suggested I use the married name in America when apply for SSN and driver license. I think my consulate understands it's not common and quite tedious to change name in passport in Malaysia.
