Thanks, that's a very useful link, I've bookmarked it. Quick question you and anyone:

My wife's British passport still shows her previous last name (Maiden Name), Can she leave it that way or is it better to just change the passport as get a new passport with her new last name (Mine) ?

My wife's British passport still shows her previous last name (Maiden Name), Can she leave it that way or is it better to just change the passport as get a new passport with her new last name (Mine) ?

I'm getting my passport changed to my married name(I'm from the UK too !) because I read somewhere on here that the green card etc would be given with the name on the passport used for the visa (and I didnt want to have to go through getting in changed over there).... if she does decide to get a new passport the UK is not too bad normal service is about 4wks and fast track service is 1 week so if you do it asap she will have it in hand before the NVC gets started on your paper work :) ... Congrats on the approval !! and good luck

If she does it in the UK, the cost is £72.50.

In the US via Washington, DC the cost is $244 and takes about 4 weeks.

The greencard will be issued in the name used on the applications to USCIS/NVC. Many people continue to use a maiden name passport and book ticket in the passport name. They carry a copy of the marriage certificate to show why the name is different on the greencard when they re-enter the US.

thank you, I have to say I was totally floored when I saw I was approved :).. no onto the next confusion lol

your office unfortunately doesn't look all that great, but at least you are coming up on your 3 month mark. I went down for an infopass to confirm my file was there and see how they were doing.. not that it had anything to do with it, but I was approved less than a week later. either way, I highly recommend the infopass, it was very informative

here is the link to your office: http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=4&office=26&charttype=1
