Hi all,

I'm not sure where to post this, but thought this forum was as good as any...

My question is regards to updating my name with the USCIS. When I got married, I (the petitioner) legally changed my name to that of my husband (the beneficiary).

Despite searching all over the USCIS website, I cannot find a single form or mention of how to go about updating this. There is a change of address form, but that's the closest I've found.

Does anyone have any light they can shed on this? Knowing how particular they can be I don't want to let this slide.

Thanks!

As far as I know there isn't a form to do that. The beneficiary is the one that fills out the paperwork. Since you are the petitioner you don't do anything except the I-864. I can't remember if it asks for any previous names used, but if it does that is where you would list your previous surname. That's it as far as I know.
