Congrats on getting your visas! As far as changing your name goes, I started with my SSN. I brought my marriage certificate to the SSA office and was able to apply for a SSN in my married name ... then I used my marriage certificate and SSN to establish/change everything else Good luck and again, congrats!

Editted because for whatever reason most of my original post didn't post!

Since you're entering on a Cr-1 visa, the green card will be issued in the name on the visa (which I assume is in your maiden name correct?)

You'll need to change your name on your green card, you'll fill out an I-90 and it'll cost about $300

Good luck
