On the plane topic, we did roundtrip because it was actually cheaper than one way. I put the return way out to April so should be ok with canceling. Also I hope can get AP before it.

We've not filed AOS yet because we've been busy changing my info over and some other stuff.

Plus we just found out that we're pregnant. :D.

That happened quick. Lol. I'm glad though because we want children.

Anyone know why they are having a slow down at the TSC for March filers?

That is their normal processing time. You can check processing time on USCIS website and it tells you that it is too slow compared to CSC. We, CSC filers, have always felt bad for TSC filers.

Update:

My spouse and I just finished with AOS papers and ready to be sent out. This year has been very challenging for us but we are still very grateful specially now that we are together. Even more grateful for the people here in this forum! You guys made everything easy for us!

Thanks again to you all!!!

On the other thread, they said that the last two days, TSC has seemed to get back to a more normal case approval rate. But we will see what next week holds!

Congrats!! :)

Thats what happened to me too, they wanted the ead card first before they change my name on the ss card lol. But either way, you should put the name you want to use and be reflected on your green card/ead so yeah you can put your married name. I put my married name on the forms too. :)
