Remarriage after filing for ROC with waiver due to death of US spouse

[Blondie0216 93]

Good evening, my US spouse passed in 2021. I filed for ROC in 2022 with waivers because he is deceased. I waited to file to get court documents and will taken care of from probate court to provide as much as i could with my application.  Just recieved the 48 month extension letter today.  My question is can i get remarried before ROC.  I have met a fellow widower and we have discussed marriage.  He is aware that I am in the immigration process. I am fully employed, own my own home etc so fully support myself. 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for your loss @Blondie0216

You are free to marry. This won't affect your immigration process. You will be able to file for N-400 90 days before 5th anniversary of your LPR status, as long as you didn't break continuous residence, met physical presence and good moral character requirements.

I have gotten married and was wondering if I need to change my name with USCIS prior to the ROC.  I filed for ROC July 2022 after my late husband passed .  I know to change my address. 

Thanks in advance

I think it's best to change your name at Naturalization (N-400) stage
