AOS questions

[Mr. Grey 0]

Hi Folks,

We're getting married on the 23rd, and are currently working on the AOS papers in order to file them right after the wedding. I came here on the K-1 visa on June 1, so it's about time to get married and file the paperwork.

I have the following questions:

1.) My fiancee (US citizen) will take my last name after the wedding. Can I already enter her "new" last name into forms I-485 and G-325A or still her old last name ? I'm wondering because when we file the paperwork, she hasn't gone through the whole name change procedure yet. However, on the marriage license it already says Mr. and Mrs. [my last name].

2.) The forms always ask me for my A#. Is it printed on my K-1 visa, starting with A... in the line "Petition" ?

Thanks,

Daniel

You cannot put her new lastname until she has changed every document: Passport, SSN, Ect.

I do believe that until she has changed every lastname on her docs you shouldn't send the papers. You could have problems with the new lastname on your marriage certificate and her maiden lastname currently used.

We decided to not change the lastname for now, its cheaper and faster.

A# (alien number) placed on your K-1 Visa. Should start with A#

Ohmygoodness. YES, you can use her new married name. The marriage certificate is the legal proof of name change.

Oh, sorry. We have some friends who had some problems at the USCIS because of the whole lastname thing.
