Hello experts,
Me and my wife had a recently visa stamped on h1 and h4. we have a baby born about 2 months and we have got his passport too.
my son's passport family details:
father :my name
Mother my wife's married name i.e my name, my surname.
my wife's passport family details ( before marriage passport)
father: her father with different surname
mother: her mother with her married name.
I have started filling up ds 160 for my son and I have following questions.
1 ) my wife has a visa stamped on her passport with maiden name and she is still using the old name. when we applied for my son's passport we had chosen to put the mother's name as her married name. in short, my son's passport is having my wife's name as married name and we have not use her maiden name.
now when it comes to DS 160 filling, what name I should put for my wife, married name ? which doesn't exist on the passport yet but my son's passport having that name. or my wife's maiden name ? in which she has a visa stamped.
however, I am the principle applicant on h1 and not my wife.
additionally, we have a marriage certificate too.
Also, is it a better idea to have a new passport for my wife with married name before she lands to US?
Thanks
