possible name and address change after filing I-130

Filed: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Country: Jamaica
Timeline

We are planning to get married in June and file the I-130 immediately after. I am also planning to come home and look for a new job in a different city (planning to move!) and legally take his last name.

Any advice on how to deal with these two changes without slowing down the processing of our I-130?

The move is more of a must than the name change- but I would like to do both concurrently with filing the paper work. Any advice?

Thanks!

On the I-130 form, there is a line for other names you've been known by. Put your married name on the top line and your maiden name on the line asking for other names. Since a marriage certficate is one of the required documents, that will show the reason for the change. If you move after filing the I-130, you can notify USCIS or NVC by email.

Found a form to notify USCIS of change of address of sponsor. It's I-865 and no charge.
