Change entire name?

[llaz 232]

I am the USC and I plan on changing my name to my fiancées last name when we are married. 

 

My fiancée, he wants to take the opportunity (if possible) to change his entire name when we get married. He despises his names due to whom he was named after. He also has two last names (paternal and maternal) and wants to drop his maternal last name to have only a first, middle and last name so that we both only have his  paternal last name.

 

Will this cause us issues when we try to adjust his status?

if he wants to do that, he'll have to go through court and it might take time.

 

If he's waiting to aos after the name change, he'll simply put the court papers as supporting docs and will list the old name whenever asked for other names used. 

 

If hes he's applying right away for aos, and do the name change concurrently, then he will need to correct his green card and there will be a somewhat high fee to do that

 

its doable, but quite a hassle

He would have to go to court due to the state laws or due to adjusting status and wanting to change his name?

You can only change last name through AOS. For full name change it has to be through court.
