Hi All,

I would deeply appreciate it if someone could answer or direct me to a place where I can find the answer.

My wife recently got her H1B extended. We are planning to go to Canada to get her visa stamped. When we filed for her extension we used her maiden name. Her approval notice (I-797) came back with her maiden name. While we were waiting her extension, we stupidly changed her passport and Social security to show her married name. So now her approval notice has the MAIDEN name and the passport has the MARRIED name.

Can we go to Canada and get the H1B stamped? Or do we have to file some change of name form first and then wait till its approved before we can go to Canada?

Thanks in advance!
