Hello, A question on how to proceed. I came to the US in 2003 with the promise of job. Job never happened and me and my child stayed here in the US anyway. I have a rather difficult first and last name so I started using an easier name and also gave my child an easier name. I did not do a legal name change but just told utilities my new name and paid a deposit (lack of id in new name and ssn).
Found my soon to be wife in 2006 (US Citizen) and she has supported us ever since. We are now ready to get married. My question is: What name do I use to file I130 and I485? Should (and can I) get a legal name change before getting married (passport of course says my old name)and filing with USCIS? We would like to continue living under the easier name and would like to obtain SS card and DL with easier name.
Thanks
