Do we need to have the passport amendment done?

in chennai you dont need

I had the exact same q a few weeks back, and I emailed chennai, got a reply telling me that it's not a requirement.

not needed ...

i had a successful CP in NWD in July without the spouse name on my passport and vica versa ...

i also know of some folks who had success at bombay too..
 
Not required. I did not have it and was not even asked about it. (I interviewed at Mumbai consulate).
 
I think things are changing with time. Now we have to pay $335 per person to St. Louis instead of $265. And this could be true for the passport ammendment too.

So contact your local consulate and get it done to be on the safe side.

It just cost $10 and a weeks time. I have spoken to Chicago Consulate and they told me to fill out the Miscellenous section of the form for this. Make sure to call them before sending anything. Because in my case, My wifes name does not change, only my name needs to be put on her passport on the spouse section.

GoodLuck.
