  • Change of Stauts and Name change

    Hello!

    I have been living and working the US for 6 years on TN work visas. I just got married and am looking to file for a change of status.

    On the I-130 and the I-485, how do I indicate I want to take his last name? Our marriage certificate has my full name with my maiden name. I'm not sure if I needed to do something different?
    But I know I want all future documents with my new last name. Any advice? Do I just fill out all forms with my new last name and include the marriage license? My TN, DL, passport and Social are all in my maiden name still, I didn't want to change them until after this process since it can be time consuming and I need to get a move on it.

    I hope this is enough information!

    I applied with my marriage name, and it didn't come up with any issue. You need to list your maiden name as "names used" on your application. But I did change my name on my SSN and driver's license before I applied, since I need some ID to match my application to do the biometrics. Many people didn't change their names on application until their interview, but I can't speak too much about it.
