Actually, it very much does. The visa and passport are what she came here with, her legal name is on them. The marriage certificate may is a new document that is relevant, but also may cause RFEs (and has for quite a few other people on this site).

Ok, if you mean it matters that her passport name is listed somewhere on the I-485, ok. But it does not have to be the name on the G-325A.

Hi Everyone - This is probably a really silly question however I am a little confused how to complete the G-325A Form for AOS (yes still trying to get all paperwork together :)). Do I complete this in my married name or my now maiden name? Also at the bottom of the form it asks for me to complete Alien Registration Number and Name. Do I use my Maiden Name or Married Name? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi so I had no ID that showed my "married" name. My passport,drivers license, etc had maiden name. Also my marriage certificate had my maiden name. I researched and read to go ahead and use married name because they will accept marriage certificate as proof of name change. EvEN if there is no name change on it. Anyways I went to my biometrics today. My forms said my married name and my ID was all in maiden. I forgot my marriage certificate. I was freakin out! When I got to the window. The officer said no problem. I think she checked my file or something and I got to complete my fingerprints/photo etc. I asked if everything was ok, if I needed to do anything else. She said no everything was good and my card should come.

Just wondering... did anyone's online status change when they got an RFE? Asking as mine did not change. I didn't know about the RFE until it arrived in my mailbox and the online status is still the same. No updates since they received the application package.

No status online update since the time they 'Received Fingerprinting Fee'. We only learned that they sent RFE after we received the letter last Monday.
