Will changing name at marriage cause problems if passports are in maiden name

[otter]

I'm a USC and about to get married. Is it going to cause problems if my wife-to-be changes her name when we get married? Her passports and such would still be in her maiden name when we file, and she will slowly change everything she can as she gets time (e.g. social security name, bank accounts, etc), but our first priority is to file the i-485.

I waited until I changed my last name to file. I used the new name to file(by which I mean I changed the name for SSN and DL), and my passport is still with my maiden name, because my country never change name for you. So far I didn't meet anything inconvenient. Some people wait until they got green card to change name. It's your choice.
