Bona fide marriage documents in maiden name vs. married name?

[h2o15 12]

When filing for AOS after getting married to US citizen, I understand that you have to prove evidence of bona fide marriage. I was wondering, if I want to have my last name changed through writing the new last name (married name) on the AOS forms (I-130 and I-485), do the documents that I'm providing as proof of bona fide marriage (like utility bills, joint lease, etc.) have to be in my new married name? or can they be in maiden name?

I feel like it would be easier to change my driver's license and SSN after receiving the EAD, which will happen after I submit my AOS package, and then change my names for my bank account/credit card/other bills, which would also serve as evidence of bona fide marriage. But I would like to provide some evidence of bona fide marriage when I first file for AOS, which would likely be in my maiden name. And I was wondering if that would be ok.

Your name now is your name now. If you haven't changed it (for example, on the marriage license/certificate), then you still have your maiden name.

If you want to provide evidence of a bona fide relationship, you & your husband can create wills, or at least medical powers of attorney, in which you refer to yourselves as "husband" and "wife."

When you finally legally change your name to that of your husband, you can then revise the above documents easily.

Many women never change away from their maiden name.

Changing your name is not as important as having all of your forms correctly filled out and the required supporting documents. I doubt I will change my maiden name and my husband received his EAD and our AOS was approved with no problems.
