USA, Canada / Has anyone received US visa on temporary Polish passport? [3]

Hello,

Long story short: Recently found out that passport is not valid due to name change on US marriage certificate and need to get a new passport for visa interview.

I have tried calling US Consulate at Krakow today and were asked to call back at different time and at the end of the day told that everyone has left the office and we should call back after christmas break :( I am planning to call back after christmas break to verify this from the consulate.

Has anyone on this forum attended a US visa interview on temporary passport (paszport tymczasowy)?

Thanks.

Law / Indian, after registering marriage in Poland with Polish lady how to get TRC? [10]

We went to Polish Registry office just now and filled in the paperwork to add our marriage record in Poland. Although to our surprise my wife was not allowed to keep her maiden name as her middle name as stated in her marriage certificate issued in US.

Spouse Maiden Name:
First Name: fname
Middle Name: Maiden_Middlename
Last Name: Maiden_Lastname

My Last Name: Sinha

In the marriage certificate issued in California, USA she was allowed to keep her maiden last name as middle name so the marriage certificate says:

First Name: fname
Middle Name: Maiden_Lastname
Last Name: Married_Lastname

While registering the marriage in Poland they did not allow her to use the maiden last name as middle name. We were told Polish law does not allow to change first or middle name and the only change can be made to the last name on basis of marriage. So the polish marriage certificate will be registered in:

First Name: fname
Middle Name: Maiden_Lastname
Last Name: Married_Lastname

Is it possible to get the passport on the name mentioned in US marriage certificate or will it only be issued in the polish marriage certificate name? I am guessing it will be later case which sadly will make whole new different names issues.

[Moved from]: Updating name on passport with foreign marriage certificate

I am an Indian citizen married to Polish citizen and currently we live in US.

We got married last year in November in USA and our marriage certificate is issued in USA. Last year we visited Poland during Christmas and she got her US visa stamp.

We are here for christmas again and went to renew her visa and were rejected because the passport is not valid anymore. We were not aware that the passport becomes invalid 60 days after marriage name change.

Now to get the name change in her passport we will need to get the marriage registered in Poland and then update her passport and go back to get the visa. Her national ID card also expired few months ago and we were planning to update that during this visit. Looks like without a valid ID card she cannot update her passport too.

Neither of us is familiar with the legal paperwork in Poland. We talked to two people today in passport office and one said registering marriage is not required another said it is needed.

Can anyone provide a plan to deal with this issue quickly?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply terri.

I have USA marriage certificate which shows my mothers maiden name and my fathers's name. It does not show their date of birth.
My wife who is polish citizen has the complete birth certificate which shows all information "odpis zupelmy aktu urodzenia".

Is it required to have my birth certificate too if my mother's maiden name is present in the marriage certificate? If yes, then only a translation is enough or does the original birth certificate should have Apostille stamp too?

It takes 1 months to get the marriage recorded here? We to Poland for christmas and when she went to get her visa renewed at the US embassy they said that they cannot stamp the visa since the passport is not valid anymore. She needs to update her name to her married name in her passport.

From what we read online to update the name on the passport to her married name we will first need to get polish marriage certificate as it cannot be done on basis of foreign marriage certificate. This will take 2 months or so. Looks like we will be separated for 3-4 months :(

Hello,
I am in similar situation as you. I am an Indian citizen and my wife is a polish citizen. We got married in USA and have marriage certificate from USA.

We are trying to get our marriage registered in Poland. Can you please tell is the documents which you used and how much time it took you do it?

Also, did you had Indian birth certificate? Did you get apostille on it? Indian birth certificate does not have mother's maiden name and DOB of either of the parents. Was this an issue for you?

Thanks.
