Hi ,
My wife has got H4 visa stamped on her old passport with maiden name. The H4 visa is valid until April 2008. We got her a new passport about 6 months ago from indian consulate in Chicago. The new passport has got her married name (i.e. my last name). The old passport has been cancelled but the stamped H4 visa is still valid. And we are going to India for vacation next month.
My question is:
Would she have any problem re-entering U.S.A, because her new passport doesn't contain visa stamp will the visa on old passport be valid? Will she be able to get her new I-94 (on new name) on return even though the vis is on old name? Or will I hve to apply for a new H_4 for her while in Inidia?
Also another big problem is documentation , how can I apply for her driving license in new name , the DMV says it can only issue on the name on I-94 n that's on old maiden name.. help
