My Fiance and I are getting married very soon and she wants to continue to complete her Master's. However, once she changes her name after marriage, how do we go about updating her I-20 or F-1 Visa to reflect her name name? I want to make sure everything gets updated so there are no risks involved and she can continue her education as well as file for AOS.

Thank you very much in advance!

Ah thanks so much! , so once she has her name change they will adjust her I-20 on file accordingly. As far as the F-1 Visa, how would I get that information updated as well? or will her old visa still be valid even with her new name?
