Passport

[tcrocks38]

Here is a possible bump in the road,

My wife's passport is in here Maiden Name but all other AOS doc are in her Married name

Our Marriage lic states her Maiden name ??

Any how I was going to have her change her name when she visits family in China but I do not know if this is a good idea.

So my main ? Can her Passport be sent to A chinese Embassy to be changed ? If so where?

I will be moving from Minnesota to Washington 1st of Jan.

Please Advise

Thank you

I'm sure it could be changed at a Chinese Embassy ... but i don't think she could " send " it .. she would have to take it in along with a copy of marriage licence and current visa and anything else pertaining to her being in the US.. the only Embassy i know of is in Washington DC ... but i'm sure there are others.... i think i remember someone saying there is one in Chicago and one in New York ... has to be others around somewhere. Check online for Chinese Embassy's and do a locate ... should be easy enough

There's a consulate in Chicago. I'd try to get over to that one before you move.

I do believe you need to go in person.

EDIT:

It looks like Visarite will do it via mail.

We updated Joanna's passport at the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles. Marriage Certificate and Green Card copies were provide. The cost was $10.00. The consulate just puts an amendment to the passport stating that she is also known as New Name. We did it so her green card matches her green card.

Our Marriage Cert is in her Maiden name her married name is not listed so I need to make a phone call to the Court where we married

Thank you all

Jason ... did they do that while you waited or did you have to come back to pick up the passport?
