USCIS will allow if you can demonstrate that it has legally been changed

:innocent:Yeah you can do that. In the Philippines, when we get married our maiden name becomes our middle name... And I haven't had any problems with it here in the US especially with my AOS. :) They will respect that.

The rules vary by state, but it always says something about that on the marriage license application. What did you put on that? If you put something other than what you want now, you really should do a legal name change.
