Use whatever your legal name is now.

Usually it's your married name.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Its not really a dilemma, you fill everything out in the name you are going to use.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

It's up to you whether you want all your legal documents here to be in your maiden name or married name. It's basically your personal preference.

How did you fill the forms in your married name??

I'm just very nervous that they denied it because my birth certificate of course i have my singe name and also my passport and K-1 visa.

If you are now using your married name as in taken your husbands name then that's what you use . You want your GC to be in the name that you are using now which is your married name. Don't worry about your maiden name on BC or passport. Your passport can be changed later to your married name.

Use your married name except where it asks for "your name exactly how it appears on your I-94" on the I-485. Also sign the forms using your married name.

Don't worry, they will figure it out. Your marriage certificate is your proof of legal name change.
