I got married about 2 weeks ago..yay! In your face Ghana Embassy!! (side rant..lol)

I am in the process of gathering documents for I-130 petition.

My question is about the name change on passport.

I have had some amazing and memorable trips to Central America that I am attached to those trips stamps (customs exit/entry stamps).

Would my old passport with these memories be taken away from me for good or a new biographic page will be added or a new passport binded to the old and the old one rendered void?

That's a long question but i am anxious.

Please help... Thank you!

Based on the fact that you "are gathering documents for the !-130 petition" and your profile has your fiancé in Ghana and you are asking about a name change--USC is the female in this relationship from what I gather--then you are applying for a new US passport--correct? You will receive the old passport back with the new one. I currently have 4 passports, so I can go back and look at all the trips I have taken over the years.

i have been through K-1 process and my fiance got denied. I have since changed my timeline to reflect CR-1 but my "our story" reflects that process and this next one.

Thanks for your response.

I am not applying for a new passport. i am updating my passport to reflect my new last name. That is what i want to know if I get to keep those memory stamps (as i call them).

I have researched passport name change fairly easy and free if change done under a year of issuance and yes you get old one back. My question off this is has anyone been able to get their name completely changed? I did through social security but my state won't accept my marriage license to get a new I'd or drivers license.

**Moderator hat off**

You will receive your old passport back after the new one is issued, the old one will be rendered unusable.

If your just changing your last name, then no they won't return it you have to send it with the application for a name change, with proof of your new last name

Incorrect, while the old one is sent with the application, it will be returned to the applicant after being rendered unusable.
