akash012 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello Seniors/Friends, Presently I am on H1B Visa. I got married in March 2012. After marriage we applied the passport for my wife with my surname and details. She did not have passport before marriage. What should I select for this below question in DS-160 for my wife - H4 dependent visa? - Q.Have you ever used other names (i.e., maiden, religious, professional, alias, etc.)? Can I select "NO" ? I am bit confused.Should I enter her family name in that ? Is it mandatory to enter her family name ? I am thinking to select NO and not to enter anything if it is not mandatory as it might create confusion for VO and end up with more questions for my wife in H4 visa interview. Can you please help me ? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot. Link to comment
livliv Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 The answer is yes. Write her maiden name in previous names section. Link to comment
LonelyMe Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 yes, this has nothing to do whether she held passport earlier or not. IT has to do with identity of a person, that is the lady with name 'A' now was known before marriage with name 'B'. So please mention any names used in past. Link to comment
