  • What name to use in DS160 for a married woman with name change

    My wife needs to apply for an H4 visa. She has changed her name to add my surname after marriage. The marriage certificate reflects this. I know that it is ok to have her passport in her maiden name and the visa will be issued in her maiden name.

    My question is whether to fill the DS160 with her after-marriage name and write her maiden name where asked in the form? Or whether to use her maiden name everywhere in the DS160.

    Please advise.

    Advisable to use the changed name and also update the same in the passport.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
