Name change after marriage - original passport

[skipperdee 11]

My husband is getting his biometrics today and the immigration officer just told him that he needs to have his name changed on his passport before he can proceed with the AOS process (they are letting him proceed with the fingerprints today). I feel like this is BS but he’s panicking. He doesn’t need to change his passport to his married name, right? Plus he’s French and he said they don’t change their names for marriage sooooo 🤷🏼‍♀️

They are lying.

If you are talking about the persons at ASC during fingerprinting, they are no immigration officers, don’t worry.

No it was some lady in her own office they made him go see, I guess she was not pleasant. We called USCIS afterwards and he said changing the name in the passport is not required, but wanted to have reassurance from those who attended their green card interviews with passports in their birth name and applications in married name.

No. He doesn't need to change his name.
