on the I130 F4 case, my mom's birth certificate was hand written back in the days contained her name as Jane Doe (Doe is parent's last name)

My uncle (John Doe) applied for my mother using her birth name Jane Doe
when Jane Doe got married her name changed to Jane Boyle
She applied for passport and it contains name Jane Boyle

During digitization of passport in Bangladesh, they generated a digital copy of the birth certificate using the name Jane Boyle from her passport.

The convention in the US is that, if a woman gets married, her passport would always carry her husbands last name or birth last name, but the birth certificate last name never changes.

So, do i stick to this convention and make correction to the name in the birth Certificate back to Jane Doe, or leave it as Jane Boyle?

Hmm, they should've issued her new birth certificate based off her old one. It may be best to have it corrected.

Did you have NVC change her old name to her new last name?

Best option is to get the birth certificate corrected. Also in case questions come you can explain this as eloquently and it won't be a big deal. Mistakes can happen anywhere and this don't seem like a fatal one. Just get the docs corrected. The

No, i never requested a name change on the birth certificate.

Yea it was the embassy that generated the birth Certificate based on looking at the passport.

The passport contains Personal Number, which is tied to the birth certificate number. so hopefully, changing the last name wont' affect the link between passport and birth certificate.
