hi again,

since i m getting married to US citizen, I also want to change my last name. I was wondering if somebody can guide me about the process.

Thanks,

um...how do you mean? The only things I can think of is you would have to take your marriage certificate to the SSA to get your SSN in your married name. Bank accounts might require the marriage certificate too (ours did). Other than that, you just use your new name, there isn't a specific process that I know of.

The SSA didn't take my married name... I'm in Maryland, so I don't know if it works the same way everywhere... they told me to wait until I got my EAD or AOS with it (the married name), so I could go again (to SSA) and update the info... Hope it helps
