Hi to all, I was just wondering about this. We were married in Vn. in Sept. 2008. We filed I130 using her maiden name and that is what is on our Marriage license. She wants to change her last name to mine and I am wondering when the proper time to do that is. Should we have done that before I130? or now? or when she gets to U.S.? I am thinking of many things this will affect like joint bank accounts, ssn, green card, etc. Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance. Good luck to all on their journey!!!

P.S. We are just starting our NVC process so that is why I ask now. If we need to change, now might be good time.

Would have been Good b4 filing i130.

But since ur case is already at the NVC, She could change her last name after she arrived in usa.

It will not affect coz woman can KEEP her madien name even after they are married .
