You do not have to take your husband's last name. You just have to prove that the relationship is genuine.

When renewing my passport I also found out that, as far as the Romanian authorities are concerned, I am still single. If you have a marriage certificate from a US state and your relationship is genuine, you have nothing to worry about.

As for changing your status in your home country, you can probably file for that, I plan to do it next time I'm over there to see my parents.

When my wife and I went to get her Social Security card, she was asked what she wanted her name to be shown as. Since she didn't have a middle name, she moved her maiden name to the middle name position and used my last name as her last name. SSA created it just like that. Once that was done, all we had to do was show everyone else her Social Security card and they changed her name. Her consulate in San Francisco wanted to see the marriage license, but with that and the SS card they put a stamp in her passport indicating that her name had changed.

I don't think it's a problem...women have maiden names before they get married, and of course all of your documentation would be in just your maiden name. But look for an opportunity like applying for a driver's license or a Social Security card to get your married name in place, then use that for everything else.

Regards,

Bill

The USA does not require a woman to change her last name. However if you do want to change your last name to your married name, you should change your passport before the interview. The visa, if approved, will come in passport name and then your green card will come in visa name.
