Surrender certificate - Last name changed during naturalization. possible OCI issues
I am applying for OCI & Surrender certificate for my family. My wife changed her last name to married name and (from maiden name) during naturalization. She has maiden name on Indian passport and married name on the US passport.
On surrender certificate application, what should be mentioned as last name in the last section (I am assuming that in the first paragraph, she needs to write name as Indian passport)? Name on Indian passport or her present name? Since her present name is with married name, can she write married name so that we will not run into any issues in the future?
If she get the SC with last name as maiden name, will there be any issues with the OCI card having married last name?
Unfortunately, USCIS didn't issuesd name change certificate citing the marraige certificate.
Please share your experiences or suggest how should I approach this.
