Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Hi,

My wife is in USA on L2 Visa. We are from India. My wife wants to change the name after marriage which was 3 months before. She wants to change the Surname. We have inquired the name change procedure through Indian embassy. If we do the name change, her name on the passport will have the new name but the VISA & I94.

Will that be an issue in having the older name on the VISA & I94? or as soon as the name gets changed on the VISA, does she has to go for new filing for VISA ?
