Help filing out form i-485

[danyl]

Part I - Information About You (Form I-485 AOS)

family name (last name) (first name)

My question is, what Last Name do I write down for my Wife in "FAMILY NAME" (LAST NAME) column? On our Marriage License after the ceremony she changed it to my name, but in her passport and other foreign documents - birth certificate etc. she has her old last name.

I'm confused, help!

Last name- Current last name(yours)
Other name/ Maiden name- Her original last name, maiden name

Thanks dr_rks, couple more questions if possible
On Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative - Information About Your Relative in family field I should put her NEW LAST NAME(MY) ?
also on Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization, in field #1 FAMILY NAME (LAST NAME) also put her NEW LAST NAME(MY) ?
Thank you

Write her new last name for both. And for everything else from this point forward. At the interview, it's OK if her passport still has the old name; show the marriage to convince them that she is the same person listed on the green card paperwork.

That explains it, because it was a bit confusing, but makes sense to write her NEW LAST NAME for everything from now.
Thank you Jackolantern.
