So my fiance and I are about to file our package and one question I have is regarding her legal name change. She (the US Citizen) was previously married and took her husbands last name. Since she was divorced she has not reverted back to her maiden name and her passport/drivers licence is still in her married name.

When we filled out all the forms we have used her current married name and not her maiden name so would we be responsible to provide a certificate showing a legal name change given that all forms and supporting material use that same married name? We provided photocopies of her passport instead of her birth certificate for this specific reason.

No, I filled my petition the same way as I did not change my name back as well. Since all of her legal docs show her married name. The divorce decree is all that is really needed as there is no need to show the marriage license which is what allowed the name change. Of course along with all of docs requested for the petition. I even included a copy of my birth certificate, and passport and I did not receive a RFE for it.
