Okay, stupid question number one. K-1 visa, she arrived and we got married. We are starting to fill out the forms for AOS, and I searched, but cannot find....What name goes on all the forms? Her maiden name or her married name?

Thanks, wish us luck!

If she is going to use your name after marriage then that is the one she should include; if retaining maiden name, she should use it.

Good luck!

She should use her married name... Good luck!

Only if she plans to go by that name. many married women don't take on their husband's last name.

*Cheryl -- Nova Scotia ....... Jerry -- Oklahoma*

She should use her current legal name. Marriage, does not always automatically change the name.

As an aside, you did find what you were looking for. The forms ask for her name. That would be her legal name.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
