Hello All - Applied i130 in august of 2025 for parents who are currently in India . As of Today Case Tracker Shows it can take up to 80 Months for Processing Time - Is that for real ? Any other August Filer Here ?

I'm trying to fill out the N-400 and I'm wondering what to even put down for my current legal name.
I know it sounds stupid but please hear me out:

I already told USCIS to call me by my married name when I filed the 751 in a cover letter.
They obliged and all correspondence with them since have been in my married name.
I visited my home country (before filing 751 ofc) in 2023 and renewed my passport so it's also in my married name.
My 10 year green card is also in my married name.

The only thing that has my maiden name on it is my social security card. I need to have it updated to my married name
with filing the N-400.

My question is, do I put my maiden name as my "current legal" name? I think I should, and then on some of the blank
spaces at the end of the form explain why correspondence with them has been in my married name. Obviously I should have not asked USCIS to call me
by my married name already but I thought I should do so since my new passport is in my married name and I have legally changed
it in my country.

I'm getting so frustrated with the K1 visa process. Did everything correctly in addition to hiring a company to help with the K1 visa process. Finally was down to the interview and she took in all the documents they normally ask for. The financial documents and further proof of us meeting again and printing out 100s of pictures and screenshots of chat logs. The interviewer assistant took the divorce decree and never returned it to my fiancee. The main interviewer said that was one of the documents she didn't have. Also the interviewer never asked for proof of relationship but put down that was one of the reasons her K1 visa was denied. My fiancee had a huge binder full of proof. I asked her why she didn't give it to her and she said she never asked for it. Then the interviewer asked for a marriage certificate for that we already had a divorce decree for and that was 25 years ago. We sent in all 3 documents they asked for and her passport. We haven't gotten a response in 5 weeks.

Another thing that was really weird my fiancee told me about the interview. The interviewer asked my fiancee 4 times how much money I make per year? She didn't ask about our relationship or when we were getting married. She kept asking her why didn't she know how much I made because she had the financial documents before coming to the interview. The interviewer had my financial documents so I don't see the reasoning behind her asking 4 times. Its like she was trying to start some argument between me and my fiancee.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do next? Has something similar happened to someone else?
