Do I need to change my passport due to changing my name to my husband's last name? I mean before my interview fo AOS. It takes about 3 months to be able to register the US marriage and name change in Poland (which I need to do-I read about it on the Polish Consulate website), plus 6 months to get new passport . Which will most likely not be ready before my green card is ready. I have all the AOS forms filled out with my husbands last name on them so that means my green card will have my new name on it, but the passport will have my maiden name.

Is it critical that I have the name change in the passport before the AOS interview?

I'm sure you don't need to. Don't worry about it. You'll have your marriage certificate, your driver's license as a proof of ID... I've read many times that it's not necessary.

I never read that you have to change your foreign passport for a new one with your married name, be sure that USCIS knows you with your maiden name (the name you use to enter in USA) and your married name (or the name you put on the AOS form).

More, they are interested by the I-94 and visa K-1, so the best things to do is to keep your passport like that;

They are also able to understand that you married the petitioner whose name is written on the visa, if you get your interview.

Good luck
