Question About the Passport you send to NVC

[Rahstyles 10]

Okay so after you get your i130 approved

To the nvc it says you have to send a copy of the biographics page of the passport to the nvc.

Now does that mean.. They only want the first page of the passport that hass your passport number your pic and name? Or do they need all the pages copied?

Also Since in my case i got married to my spouse alien abroad.. she has her old passport as for example "mary jane rugar"

But now she will take my last name as: mary rugar toyota (if my last name was toyota)

And on my i-130 I put her name on the app as : mary rugar toyota

So can we use her old unexpired passport with the name "mary jane rugar" or do i need to apply for another passport with her new name "mary rugar toyota" and send it in?

I did put down on the i130 for when it asked for any aditional used names: mary jane rugar.

NVC just needs the page with the picture and all the data. Don't need to send them the other pages.

As for the name, if you/her want the visa (and thus green card) to come in the married name, then she'll need to get a new passport done.

Im in the proccess of getting her a new passport.. but the philipine passport place wants a CFO certificate. which is hard to get for us.

AFter you recieve the approved notice of the 130 .. how long do you have to send in the passport?

Well, first the case number needs to be assigned, which is taking around 3-4 weeks at the moment. And your wife will need to send the DS-3032 and once that's accepted, the IV bill will be invoiced. Since the passport copy is needed in the IV package, you've probably got another week or two after the case number is assigned before you're able to send in the package. But, you have up to one year to send it, so no worries. I would think that she could get the new passport within the next month or so, but I don't know processing times in the Philippines.

The passport takes about a month... so do you think they would have a problem if i applied for the passport.. after i get the 130 approval? Or will it look suspicious and unorganized thinking we should have gotten everything ready prior to applying for the cr1 visa?

No problem with the passport as no one's seen the beneficiary's passport yet, so they won't even know it's been changed. And even if they did, a lot of people update their passports after getting married to change their last name to the married one (for those that do that), so they could care less.
