I'm going out to the US to get married on VWP and returning home to UK to complete. I spoke to USCIS helpline who told me it was ok to send the I-130 and I-129 off whilst still in the US as long as I return to complete.

Would I be able to use my married name on these forms and send them off as straight after we marry even though I wouldn't be able to change my passport/bank account etc to my married name until I returned home again? I thought I might be able to as long as I put my maiden name in the section that asks for other names you're known by.

You can put your married name yes. My married name was used on all forms prior to changing my passport, D/L etc.

You can find me on FBI

vjb,

My wife was a K3. We used my surname on my petitions, her visa application forms, and all of her US ID is in her married name.

She continues to use her maiden name in her country and we expect to leave all of her ID and other documentation there in her maiden name.

My drivers license and social security card are still in my maiden name - the only thing I've changed so far is my passport. I did have it amended with my married name so I could use it as I.D. over here prior to getting back. As long as you have the marriage certificate, it'll be fine. ;)

BTW, congratulations on your nuptuals!!! :D
