I-765

[mariepear 12]

So does everybody put their new married name on the I-765 (EAD) application even though the instructions say "use name as it is written on your passport"?

Thank you for your answers!

Yes. You list your maiden name in other names used and your category is (c )(9 ).

I actually just searched through the I-765 instructions and could not find anywhere it states to "use name as it is written on your passport". Where is this stated?

Yes, I know the form instructions. I just searched the pdf document for the word passport. I came up with 5 instances of the word passport within the instructions, None of those were a statement of "use name as it is written on your passport". I also searched the words "written" and "name" and did not find any such statement in the instructions. Can you be more specific? What page, section of the instructions? Not sure why I could not find that statement with a search of the entire document,

Those are not the form instructions from the USCIS. That is some other site giving information about an F-1 visa, and that page you linked is some step by step instructional for those applying for OPT and have an I-20. If you read through all of it, it talks about having an I-20 and F-1 student visa all through it.

Always follow the instructions for the form from the actual USCIS website. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=73ddd59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

I did both, because at first I couldn't open the USCIS instructions... Now I'm clear on it.... Thank you for your help!
