Name Change at NVC

[irfsahi 0]

We are having difficulties achieving PCC from the passport office because the beneficiary did not renew her passport to the new married name. They only issue the PCC after the new PP has been created under her married name. The problem is in I130, and g325a were submitted under her maiden name and no mention of her married name. Once she change the name in her PP do we need to start using the new married name in the upcoming forms, like DS230? Are we supposed to notify NVC? Or should we just create a new PP and keep both passports during interview and not inform NVC ahead of time. Will it cause delay/problems in changing her maiden name to her married name as a primary name? We have marriage certificates and all required documents to prove the marriage. Any guidance is appreciated.

Your wife's changed name will show in PCC. You should fill DS230 with the new name and put here old name as maiden name in DS230. Iclude copy of both new and old passport in your IV package. State in you cover letter that name has changed in new passport.

Thanks for your reply, but should we be worried if her married name was not mentioned in I130 nor in g325a and suddenly we will start to use her married name in ds230?
