Questions about AOS forms

[golfnut63 0]

Hello,

We are just starting the AOS process and had a few questions.....

On the I-485, G-325 forms...

1. Now that my wife is married to me do I still use her maiden name on the areas that ask for family name or do I put her new married name?

2. Is the vaccination supplement required without exception? Reason I am asking is two of her friends have received their Green Cards and never submitted vaccination form.

Thank you, Warren

Hey Warren,

1. If your wife is taking your last name, then put her married name when it asks for family name. On the G325A (make sure it has an A at the end), where it says "Other names used (include names from previous marriage)" put her maiden name.

2. Thats odd, i know in the assembling instructions it states you need the I-693(A) when filing. I wouldnt chance it, you may get a Request for Evidence letter (which slows down your process) and have to get it anyway.

Good luck!

We used my last name for all of Claudeth's AOS forms. As far as the supplemental vaccination goes, if you have a vaccination record from your doctor that covers all the basic vaccinations you shouldn't need the supplemental from the civil surgeon.

It's whatever name she wants to use going forward. If she took your name, use the married name -- it would be a big hassle to change the name on the card in the future.

I would not risk it not sending the supplement. I think that in almost all cases it's being reviewed at the interview.

I believe in the instructions it states even if you have a vaccination record, you still need to go to a Civil Surgeon to have that information transferred to I-693A. (which is vaccincation supplemental form.) Therefore, if you want to play it safe, you may still want to get this done, and include it in your filing.
