Petitioner moved to a new state before my POE

[sweetapple 1]

Hi,

My husband just moved to TX this April, and he is still in search of apartment now. Therefore, we do not have a physical address yet. He will rent a mailbox at the post office until we move into the new apartment. I will arrive in TX on May 3, my POE is IAH. I know that I need to notice CBP officer about the change of address. But does my husband need to do the Change of Address on USCIS website?

My visa expires on May 7. Due to my family issues and my husband's relocation, I cannot come to the US earlier. Is there any troubles when my arrival is too close to the expiration date? Will they ask the reason for that?

Also, we got married in Vietnam. My husband wants me to take his last name when I come there. Can I notice the officer at the airport about the desired name change on SS card and green card? If not, what do I need to do to change to my husband's last name?

Thanks a lot.

I don't think the custom agent will accept PO BoxThey will ask, in regard to your visa about to expires, but it would not cause any issues as long as you explain the reasons. You can change your last name anytime at your local SS office with your marriage certificate. I am not sure if you can do that at the POE.
