Hi there. Looks like the USCIS is solidly working on the 2nd full week in April now. One end-of-April filer got a hard copy NOA2 with no email, and no touch.

I'm guessing that in another few weeks, it'll be our turn to see some approvals in our little group. :D

Hey Everyone...I am getting confused with changing my name to married name. I posted the question in another thread but so far no one replied. I know I should be a little patient but I am getting worried about this for no reason. I have filled all CR1 forms in my maiden name but now I think I made a mistake. I did it to keep things simple but now my passport is up for renewal and I am not sure what name I should get that renewed under. All my current documents are in my maiden name.

How much cost and time does it take for me to legally change my name once I am in US? Is it recommended to change the name prior to entering US?

Thanks and sorry for being so impatient

When I filed the I-130 for my wife everything was in her maiden name, I had her change her passport a couple weeks later to maiden name and will be submitting everything with new lastname during the NVC stage. I will just list previously used name with her maiden name.

The cost for you to change name in US will be getting a new passport which i think is 300+ dollars and you will probably need a new greencard and ssn card as well then.

Can you change the name in between USCIS and NVC stage? Is it advisable to do that since I did not mention my married name at all in the I-130 forms. Also if I change my passport to my married name now, do I HAVE to change all my other ids such as DL, Health Card etc?
