Change of Name

[avikram1]

I am an Indian National staying with my husband and family in the US on L2 Visa. My husband has an L1 Visa. I got married in 2000.

I was using my maiden name till 2006. When my passport became due for renewal we decided to change my name to the married name and got a new passport from the Indian consulate (in US) with the married name. However, my L2 Visa and I-94 still contains my maiden name only. My Visa and I-94 are valid till Feb 2008.

I am currently in US but plan to take a summer vacation to India in Aug 2007. I want to check if this create any issues during re-entry to US. Please advise if I need to carry any supporting documents.

Hi
I dont see any problem there.
But to be cautious, carry your old passport and a copy of your Marriage certificate. You can also make a sworn affidavit attested by a Notory in US (Extra cautious... )
And you can always explain at POE.
