Need help with some questions please

Hello,

This forum helped me a lot getting all my documents together to apply for a green card after getting married with the love of my love.

Due to some financial issue we were not able to apply sooner.

1. My passport expires in March. If we send all the documents in February is still good or I have to get e new passport?

2. I did the Medical Exam in June. Do I have to redo it or I can use it if I apply in February?

3. I have my SSN on my old last name. Should I change it to my last name that I have it after marriage?

Thank you for looking at my questions and maybe help me get over this stressful process.

Have a nice day everyone!

Did you arrive in the USA on a K-1? Are you now doing the Adjustment of Status? If so, you will need to ask a mod to move this question to the Adjustment of Status section. This is CR-1/IR-1 for spouses who are living overseas and hoping to immigrate to live with their husband/wife. Different process. We are not familiar with your process so we cannot help.

I am doing an adjustment of status from a Tourist Visa but I enter in USA as a J1 visa.

OK it is fine for your passport to expire.. some people do not have the $$ to pay for the AOS right away. DO not leave the country. You were admitted on a Tourist or J1 they both allow you to fill out the i130 and i485 to adjust status.... so yes, it is fine for an expired passport and doesnt make a difference as long as you were admitted into the US on one of those visas. I wouldnt renew your passport as well because you need to show the stamp/visa when you go to the interview, which could be a year from now.
