My wife went to her passport office to get the police clearance certificate. Her current passport states her name as (first name) (father's first name) (last name). The passport office told her that she has two options since she showed her marital status married:

1. Keep the passport no. and all other info same, except change her name to state (first name) (husband's first name) (last name).

2. Get a new passport all together with new number. Keep the same name (first name) (father's first name) (last name). Add a new section on the bio-data page of the passport called "Spouse" and state my name there.

I am on the 2nd step of NVC and have just submitted DS-261 last week, waiting for it to be accepted. Which is our best option here and will either of them affect our visa process?

Thanks!

Edit: The passport office told her that they won't issue PCC until she fulfills one of the two choices they gave her. So, we have to pick one.

I would suggest that she goes for the second option. The first option will just change her second name but will not indicate you as her spouse. It could be a problem during interview as I assume you gave her maiden name in I130 petition. The second option will include you as her spouse so no problem will arise.
