DS230 filing

[jon23]

Hi there your help.
I am on the process of filing my ds230. Just recently married and my passport is still under my maiden name and i am not planning to change it yet since it would take a month for it to be processed. But i am quite confused to write on Question1 which asks your family name, First name and middle name. Would i need to place my husband surname already? Even though i have not changed my passport name yet? I learned i can still retain my maiden name.

Question 2 (if married woman, place your maiden name). basically this question asks for my maiden name which is very clear.

Quite confused.

PLs help.

THanks a lot

DS230 is not long being used. It has been replaced with online DS-260.

i am already current my PD is Jan 2007 and last november 2013 they already advised me to apply the ds230. Until now i have not applied yet as i am waiting for my marriage certificate from the Philippines. Since i have complete documents now, i never throught that i should apply now thru online ds260.

The DS-230 is now "...Diversity Visa and Cuban Family Reunification Parole applications only..."
The DS-260 can be accessed at: http://travel.state.gov/contenthttps...isa-forms.html

The DS-260 became the official replacement for the DS-230 several months ago.
