Hi there everybody,

I m still kinda new here and having a hard time to understand it right so first of all my name is nadja, I m form Germany. I recently got married while I was visiting my boyfriend in the US. He surprised with the engagement ring and a couple weeks later we got married his name is Derek and he is in the Air Force and stationed in the US right now. So we found out that my husband has to file for an I-130 so we can be together. I read so much about it and did research and everything but still have a couple questions.

Like

1. do I have to change my german passport, ID from my maiden name before we file for the I-130?

2. can I file with my married name even if all my documents are in my maiden name?

We planed to change my last name after I get the visa is this possible?

Thank you guys in advance

1) No.

2) Yes; ensure that you include your maiden name on all forms where it asks for "other names used".
