Changing name and signature submitted in the AOS Biometrics

[Palmteers07 0]

Is there anyone out there that can shed light to my predicament?

I am starting my life in the US and everything is so difficult since I changed my name after getting married. I filed for my AOS November 2007 and my application is still pending as of now, April 2008. I have called the USCIS hotline and they said to write them a letter of request for a name change. If this gets approved, how about my signature? I haven't gotten any invitation for an interview yet.

So there, I am having a hard time in getting a driver's license since I don't have enough "proof" for my "new" signature. I know the biometrics also covered my EAD since my card has my "old" signature in it. Please help!

The biometrics would have been a good time to ask your name to be changed and for your new signature to show. But since that's done you will have to wait for your interview. You can try to request your Interviewing Officer to change your name on the GC.

If your GC gets approved without interview, you can submit an I-90 (and pay another fee) to have the name changed. Or you can wait until it's time to file for removal of conditions (2 yrs after GC approval minue 90 days) to have the name on your GC changed.

Thank you very much for the input!

My EAD also has my old signature... When I renew it, do I get a chance to go to USCIS and have it changed also?

Yes, when you renew your EAD you have to go for another biometrics so you can change your signature then.
