MaheshMF Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 My wife got her passport renewed in US and changed her last name to my last name. Can anyone please let me to know the procedure on how to update her approved i-797A (Validity till 2024) with the new last name as per passport? Filled DS-160 with her new last name and booked visa appointment. If we plan to go India and use drop box for stamping, Will there be a problem for her visa stamping due to her last name mismatch in passport vs i797A? Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Her passport may have her maiden name mentioned on it. Keep a copy of the wedding certificate along with the visa stamping paperwork. Form I-129 does ask for maiden (or other names used) in Part 3 of the form. This should work for future I-797A's. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment
