Hi vj family !

We are applying for AOS, and almost there to send the packet ..my wife changed her name after our marriage & now we have to sign in the AOS forms and various other places ...but she has not changed her sign yet ..and I think as she changed her name & her old sign(signatures ) says her old name !

Now in this case do we have to file some kind of "petition for name change"??

How this gonna work ,she has until now her Socual security card with her new name after marriage ? Can she simply sign the new signature or process is more complex ?

As USCIS previously have her old signature in K-1 packet when we first apply for ..does it gonna make difference with old and new sign of her ? If yes what possibly we can do & where to start as she has her SS card with her new name now ,but we didn't sign on the card as we don't know if she can sign the card with new name ,when she has her old sign with rest of other places ..like bank,driving license,lease etc...Does USCIS will ask for old sign or new sign is fine with them ..if not ..what we will be doing as she need her new sign as her name is changed now after marriage

Any suggestion please ..will be appreciated

Bless & peace

You change your name, you sign with the new name. You keep trying to make everything more complicated than it is. You can even make your signature some characters and/or scribbly lines...Xs and Os... it doesn't matter. Your signature is yours. Just make it the same across all documents from now on.

Have you even figured it out if her name change is legal yet? (Using your first name as her last name).

There's no rush to renew her passport. On the forms she will be asked to also supply other names used = her maiden name. Your marriage certificate will be the bridge between her maiden and married name.

Oh, don't send the passport with the application BTW. Send a copy.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

You're not the first to be in your situation. Everyone has their "old" name in the marriage certificate. But, it also shows the name of their spouse, and USCIS allows you to alter your (her) name to the one of their spouse (as shown on the marriage certificate). The name on her passport really does not matter.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

You don't send the passport with AOS. You send copies of certain pages that it asks for in the form instructions. You will need the passport for ID for biometrics appointment, and would need it again if you get an interview. So, if you have to send away the old passport and wait months to get a new one, then I would wait until after you have the green card in new name before changing the passport.
