Why is it different?

For example if she changed her name due to marriage, then sending the marriage cert- or just an up-to-date passport with the new name matching the tax filings- would help.

The name change was due to marriage. But she has divorced and has her divorced papers. Can we send the divorce paper along with her birth certificate? Thank you for your input God bless you

Is sending in a copy of the joint sponsor's passport instead of a copy of the birth certificate acceptable? I just realized that I will have the same issue.

Yes, a copy of the passport can be substituted for the birth certificate.

For the OP, yes, include the divorce decree if it mentions both the maiden and married names. If not, provide the marriage certificate too.

Her passport name is the same as birth certificate still different from name on tax transcript...but when someone get divorced can they still own a marriage certificate...? Thanking you all for your contributions

Of course. The fact that the marriage took place is a matter of public record, just like the divorce. Your issue is documenting that the sponsor is a US Citizen. With the passport and birth certificate still in the maiden name, either use a divorce certificate that mentions both maiden and married name or a marriage certificate (certified copies) that will document that smith married jones.

The marriage certificate is no longer valid. It's just a record of something that happened.

Thank you pushbrk you brought me relief with your response. Do I have to do a letter explaining the name difference together with the documentary evidence(divorce papers)? Thank you again in anticipation for your further response

No, but do put the papers together, so they can figure it out.
