Name stress! Maiden/married confusion

[EmilyTim 3]

Hello! I got married on Sunday, and am now stressing (again!).

I'm filing for AOS, as well as the work authorization and advanced parole too. 

Here's the confusing story: we filled in the online form to get our marriage license, drove to Grand Junction (Colorado) and were given the license. The license has my maiden name on it (as when we were applying for the license, we weren't married yet....) We went to Rocky Mtn National Park, were married by an officiant, and we signed the certificate (I signed my normal signature - E.Holland: Holland being my maiden name). We had a ton of drama happening this weekend (car breaking, photographer abandoning us 10 mins before the ceremony, etc) so I didn't even stop to think about what I was doing.

I want to take my husband's surname (King) and I have filled out all of the AOS, work authorisation, advanced parole, as Emily King, also signing as E.King. 

But now I've had a moment to get over the craziness of the weekend, I think I've made a mistake? Or is it fine that there is 0 reference to me being 'Emily King' on the marriage certificate but 100% Emily King in all the other paperwork?

Feeling super stressed and concerned about this. It's not something I know very much about, so I would gratefully appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Your Marriage Certificate, even with your maiden name, is the change of name document.  File as King and that is who you are.

So everything's ok?! Oh my goodness, I thought I had messed everything up!

Our wedding certificate lists my wifes name as her maiden name.  She signed the same way.  We had no issues.

Your signature is personal mark and can be anything you want it to be

Agree. You are Emily King now. File that way.
