Your timeline says it's a K1, so your wife files all the papers as the applicant for AOS. You the USC don't do anything but provide the Affidavit of Suport. All other forms are hers in her new married name. The USC does not do a G325a, or send his passport, or birth certifcate, or anything but his financial info.

Many post replies in this forum who are already in the US with a different visa (like student, work or tourist), so they send the I-130 petition along with the AOS application. Be careful that you don't get confused by the information they give you. If you are here with a K1 or K3, then the USC has already done the I-129f or I-130 part prior to getting the visa. There is actually a different topic/thread that is for the other visas but many end up here.
