Doing I-485 now and maybe thinking TOO much......but when it asks for "family" name, which one do I use now that we are married. Do they want her family name like when we did the I-129f or my last name? Maybe its obvious but I want to make sure!!

thanks guys!!

You can used your married name or maiden name. Since you're also submitting a birth certificate and a marriage license, they will have a proof of whichever one you want to use. :thumbs:

I've put down my married name on everything. When they ask for "other names used" that is when I put down my maiden name.

You are now married... If you have taken you husband's family name as your current family name... any family names you may have had in the past are now exactly that, in the past. This would be consistently applied across any and all future documents you prepare
