Hi everyone! I will be filing the i-130 for my husband and kids. I am going to use my maiden name in the form since all my documents and evidence are in my maiden name. I was just worried that this would be a problem with the embassy? Given that my kids and husband all have the same last name except me?

It shouldn't be a problem. You're not required to change your last name. As long as you have proof evidencing that you're married, it should be fine.

I didn't change my last name when my husband and I got married either-although I plan to in the future. I didn't find it to be a problem when I filed the petition for him. I decided to stick with simplicity. I would avoid confusion by making changes in my documents. I don't think the people working in the embassy will find it strange and I have a feeling they see if often. What they are looking for is the evidence itself and the quality of it.
