onH1-name change>

[raghuha]

my wife is on H1...we want to change her last name. (she has none rigt now..so its causing problems here)
can anyone tell me how long does it take to get the new/dupicate passport from chicgao consulate?


here are the two questions i have:

question 1:

after she gets her new passport, will she have to go to canada to get the visa stamped on her new passport?
can she change her job with the new passport?

question 2:

if she wants to change her job, is it advisable for her to get her H1 transferred to the new company and then apply for a change of name?
