Hi,

I got married about a year agoand my wife (Binny Aggarwal), is trying
to get her name changed to Binny Bhatnagar. Before marriage she'd
applied for an H1-B with her maiden name and we've got the approval
notice for that. We've alreadygot updated Indian passports with her
married name. We were trying toget her name changed with the Social
Security Office but they said weneed to get it changed with INS (I
guess on her I-94) before that. Wecalled up the INS office and they say
we need to get it changed fromthe port of entry (gave us the following
website - http://cbp.gov/). Calling them resulted in an automated
system asking to dial a known extension. This just seems to be driving
us around in circles. We're trying to make sure that our Green Cards
that my company is filing for me has her married name on it and also
that we don't face any issues when we go for her H1B stamping in India
in November.

Should we get her H1B stamped with her maiden name ormarried name? Do
we need to file an amended H1-B petition? Am trying togoogle for this
without much success but if anyone knows relevant links etc. please do
let me know. Can you provide me with any suggestions on how I can try
to do this while still retaining my sanity? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Aloke
