Thank you so much

I meant if I change my name and then get a new passport, where I have to re-apply for a new ESTA. I've only been to the US one time, October 24th 2024 to January 18th 2025.

Thanks so much for your reply. We are definitely looking at filing it as soon as we can just because we know it takes the longest. I don't know if this is a hard question to answer maybe, but how likely if you had to wildly guess would an ESTA denial be?

Thank you so much. Would I then not immediately start the legal process of changing my name? But wait until after we have done our next visit? Just double checking to make sure I'm following!

Hello everyone, I am back in my home country of Sweden now after spending 86 days with my now husband (as of January 10th). I was wondering some things regarding the steps moving forward - I am intending to change my last name (taking his), which would require me to get a new ID and passport, but that would also mean applying for a new ESTA. If I apply for an ESTA with an I-130 pending, I suspect this will most likely be declined? What would be the best approach here? Don't change my name and deal with changing the name on (hopefully) the greencard later? Don't send in the I-130 until our next visit is over, as we have not yet filed it? Would love some advice if possible. Thanks in advance

Hi! Completely new to this website so I hope I am doing this correctly! Me and my husband got married January 10th 2025, I return to Sweden on January 18th. I will be changing my last name once I get back, then we are planning on submitting our I-130 application. We have been reading a bit about the embassy interview I will have to do when that is approved, and we are a little confused. Do I need the original marriage certificate with me, or is a scanned copy AND a photo copy enough? Can the original stay here in Louisville with him, or do I need to bring it with me to Sweden? We have another visit sort of planned for the end of July, and we assume we will be far from over with the application process with then, but we'd like to sort the paperwork stuff out now in case our visit plans fall through. Thanks so much in advance!
