Last Name Change for H-4 Visa

Question details

My passport is getting expired shortly and I need to renew it as my visa has the maiden name. I wish to change the last name in visa. What is the procedure to change the last name?

As far as I know, you will have to apply for a visa again. To change the name on a U.S. visa that has already been issued requires a new application. But if you carry your old passport (which has the old visa), with the new passport and your marriage certificate, you should be allowed entry.

USCIS Publishes Revised Form N-470

On February 11, 2013, USCIS published a revised Form N-470, Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes, with an edition date of 1/03/2013. USCIS will accept older editions for 60 days. Beginning April 12, 2013, USCIS will only accept the 1/03/2013 edition.   

There is now a single filing address for this form. Customers filing Form N-470 must now mail them to the Dallas Lockbox facility. The new centralized filing location will streamline intake functions, enhancing customer service and improving operational efficiency.
