Name Change and AOS

[jmgbuba 0]

My wife arrived in Sanford, FL though Miami on a K-1 visa. I got her social security card in her maiden name and then changed the name on this after we were married. I was thinking this would help in getting her ID and using her married name on bank accounts. The bank account requires a photo ID with her new name if I want to use it on the account and the drivers licenses requires the EAD if I want it to last longer than 90 days.

Since she has a social security card with her married name and everything else in her maiden name will this be a problem when applying for AOS? Do I just use her maiden name on all the forms?

nope the name she is going to use now is what you use for the forms. so from what you said, it will be her married name.

it is hard enough getting a greencard at the best of times, last thing you want to do is have to request another card with her married name on it...

Do you send a copy of the SS card with the I485 evidence? No.

The forms of ID required with the I485 are the petitioners birth cert, passport, visa, and marriage certificate.

That clears up any question in DHS mind as to who the petitioner is.
