AOS Submission

[melloray 0]

Hi,

this is our first post on VJ , up till now everything has gone really well (I129F K1 etc). The question i have is :

Does it matter that my old (umarried) name is on all the AOS paperwork that we have submitted, but i have now changed my name to my husbands? I am the USC , will this cause any problems at the interview. My Husband has his boimetrics (for EAD and AOS) appt in Philly tomorrow.

Any info please - im a bit worried.

I don't think that would cause any problems at the interview. Just bring an ID that shows the old name (like your previous driver's license).

It is the foreign fiance that files for change of status - your name change doesn't do anything to the process as long as you can show that you are still married to him. Good Luck

I am in the same situation. They don't care about the USC's name for biometrics. Your name matters for the affidavit of support. I haven't actually told them yet that I changed my name to his, but we are about to move so I'll do both at that time.

I know that when you move you have to tell USCIS using the AR-11 form , do you know if there is a form for telling them that my name has changed to his? The affidavit of support and everything else has already gone to USCIS and the checks cashed , does anyone know if telling them this now will cause any problems.

thanks

As far as I know, you just send a letter explaining that you changed your name to your husband's. They already have the marriage certificate, so they know it could happen. Perhaps if you just send them a copy of your new SS card and then another copy of the marriage certificate then that would help. I'll let you know what happens to me next month.

If you're the applicant you have one more chance to change your name without paying a fee and that's when you have your interview, if you have an obliging interviewer who'll write your new married name on the card instead of your maiden name. Since you are the USC they couldn't care less what name you go by, so no need to worry about it!
