Single name or married name

[Yohannyballou 0]

Hey guys. I need some help. My husband summited the form I 130 a few months ago and still waiting for the approval. My question is. Do I need to change my single name for my married name in my country or Can I do it once I get to the states? It that will be a problem on the interview if I don't have his name?? In my country they don't change it they just add your husband last name to yours. Thanks

It won't be a problem with immigration. You don't have to change your name in the US.

Green card in Visa name

Visa in passport name

(ALWAYS for IR1/CR1)

You can pay $450 to change the green card

OR

change it at ROC (if applicable)

OR

change it at citizenship (if you choose.)

I submitted my papers with my maiden last name because I hadn't changed it yet here. Afterwards when I changed my name in my social security and my passport I have sent the paperwork with that last name. It has not been a problem, they still send the paperwork with my maiden last name. you should be fine
