What to do about change of name?

Hi guys!,

Please I need your advice. My wife wants to apply to the US embassy for a tourist/business visa for a course, but she is using her passport that still carries her maiden name. Her country's embassy has certified/endorsed the change of name on the renewal page of the passport but trust Immigration here, they still issued her RP on her maiden name as that is what is on the data page.

Pls my question is, on the US visa form, it says Surname as shown in passport, and another question says other surnames which you have been/are known as... Do you think she should use her maiden name as the surname ( name on the data page of the passport) and use her married name (endorsed name on renewal page) as other surname she is known as.

Please advice. Thanks so much.
