AOS - Full name change (first and last)

[a.miel 5]

Hello, I recently got married and have applied for my SSN, which has been delayed because they have to verify my info manually. In the meantime, I wanted to prepare for AOS. I plan on changing my name, both first and last and I understand in NJ, it requires a court order. Is it okay to send in my AOS in my maiden name, and while the AOS is pending/processing, I go through with my name change? Or is it better to wait until I receive my conditional permanent residence OR green card before I change my name?  In other words, will there be issues/delays if I did it during AOS pending/processing? Please let me know if anyone has been in this situation!

Wait until you file for citizenship.

It will be free then and less complicated.
