Why did you do that? All that matters is her current legal name. I'm not sure what to
do at this point, but I'd expect an interview based on the discrepancy. You should be
able to explain the situation at that point, and I don't expect that in the end, it
won't be a big problem. Just make sure to in the future use the correct legal name.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. For reliable advice, please consult
with a professional immigration attorney.
