Hi,
I got my green card few months back and I need to get my wife's (Indian) passport renewed (since it is expiring in 4 months). I was wondering if it is a good time now for changing her last name from her maiden name to the married name.
How does that affect her Green Card which is in her maiden name (same as passport at the time)?
I spoke with the Indian Consulate and they were not very helpful. They just told me to send a copy of the marriage cert for proving her new name. I was wondering how that would affect her GC and if I should hold off. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
