Hi there,

Does anyone have any experience or any ideas about a name change of the petitioner spouse for the application?

We already filed for my husband's I-130 and A0S (he is here on an F1 visa) but because of the way I want to change my name, I couldn't do so at the time we got married and have to go through a lengthier process in our state (making my current last name my middle name, and his last name my new last name). Does it matter at all or am I stressing about something that doesn't make a difference since I am just the petitioner and he (who will not be changing names) is the beneficiary?

My plan was to do similar, making my maiden my middle name and taking his last. I am opting to wait til the AOS is complete, I'm nervous that if I did so it could somehow make even a tiny issue. Not saying that it would actually cause any problems at all, but I'm just going to wait.

FWIW, I never see threads about the petitioner's name change during AOS so there isn't much to go on.
