Passport to Marriage Name pending AOS

[EatBulaga 315]

Greetings Everyone,

We are K1-to-AOS filers with the EAD/AP combo card in hand and waiting for the AOS approval/interview.

The foreign spouse's passport is in the maiden name.

The I-485 AOS was filed with the marriage name with the maiden name passport and the US marriage certificate.

The EAD/AP combo card is in the marriage name.

 

My questions are:

 

1. Is there any advantage to update the foreign passport to the marriage name with the foreign spouse's embassy in the US?

2. If the foreign passport is updated to the marriage name, what additional paperwork/forms should we file with the USCIS with the new passport?

3. Is it better to wait till after receiving the green card before updating the foreign passport to the marriage name?

4. If we travel with the maiden name passport with US marriage certificate and EAD/AP combo card marriage name, should the flight ticket be booked with the maiden name or the marriage name?

 

Thanks in advance for any response(s).
