Hi,
My spouse in in India, I am in the US.
We got married in Jan 2007. Our marriage certificate has my wife's name before the marriage. I also got her H4 done (which also has her old name, the one before marriage).
Now she applied for a name change and got the govt. document. Since her air ticket to India is issues in the new name, I think she will have to apply for her new passport (reflecting her new name).
My questions are:
1. Is all the above right?
2. How much time does it take to get the new passport (Pune)
3. The marriage certificate has her old name, so is it a problem?
4. When the new passport is issued, do they change the name on the VISA automatically? Or does it need a trip to the VISA office?
Thanks for you help.
