Married or Maiden Name in Passport

[chman_zinga]

Hi

I am PR of Canada, and have been married for last three years to as US PR who will be citizen soon. My Passport still has my maiden name in it. All my government IDs are also under my maiden name. (I have not made new passport with my married name yet.)

My husband is going to file for my petition (I -130) soon. When I come to us (assuming I get visa and everything), I want my green card, social security and other government ID’s to be issued under my MARRIED name. So in order to have all these do I have to make a new passport with my married name? Or if I have my husband name attested in my current passport it will be sufficient. And if it is sufficient how do we fill up forms I 130 and G325 as both forms have provision to mention your married as well as maiden name. ( what name should we mention where?)

Also if any one knows, answer to what question determines the issuance of visa under particular (married or maiden) name.

I will really appreciate any help, especially those who have gone thorough similar circumstances.

You will need to get a new passport in your married name first.
