K-1 visa: Philippines to USA - Ex-wife name issues - I129F

[Broke Government 4]

I will use fictitious names in this post for annonymity.

 

My fiance arrived in Manila for her 3rd attempt at the consular interview yesterday. Unfortunately, she received a yellow interview reschedule paper once again. This time, the Philippines Embassy is requesting a copy of the court order my ex-wife made to change her name immediately after we married. This is all they are requesting on the yellow paper.

 

Philippines Embassy complains that the name of my ex-wife is listed as Kym Summers on the I129F, but my divorce decree shows her name as Winnie Schultz (because she changed her name right after we married). She didn't like her first name so she changed it, she also dropped her middle name, and then she updated her last name to match mine.

 

So I just obtained certified copies from the county court where the official change of name was made. The Name Change Court Order lists her name as Kym Lee Summers changing name to Winnie Schultz. My marriage certificate also shows her name as Kym Lee Summers.

 

So now her names look like this:

 

I129F: Kym Summers

Marriage Certificate: Kym Lee Summers

Name Change Court Order: Kym Lee Summers changing name to Winnie Schultz

Divorce Decree: Winnie Schultz

 

I am now worried they will wonder why the I129F doesn't have her middle name of Lee. I asked my attorney and he said the middle name missing on the I129F should not be a problem. Attorney said to give them the Marriage Certificate in addition to the Name Change Court Order. He said the I129F can't be updated at this time any way. I hope the attorney is right. What do you think?

 

Thank you for any insight.
