**Need some more advice from you guys **
My wife is having her citizenship oath ceremony on April 30th. she is planning to change her name on this day. so she will get her Naturalization certificate with new name.
Now i have all documents and forms ( I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131) ready which i am going to submit for my Green card. i am just waiting for her Naturalization certificate.

Now my Question is whatever supporting documents i have for (I-130, I-485 ,I-765, I-131) has my wife old name and her Nauralization certificate going to have her new name ( they also gonna give her Name change Court Authorzied Letter).

Is this gonna create any problem when i will submit my AOS application to USCIS ?? should i change her name on all documents which is kind of imposible ?? do i need to put her new name on all forms( I-485/ I-130) ??

Once the name is changed, the new legal name should be used for all purposes
 
Since your wife will have a new name after the naturalization ceremony then she must need to use her new name everywhere...that includes on all the immigration forms that would be filed for you or on behalf of you. So, her new name will need to be used everywhere.

You guys will need to attach a letter with each required form (I-130, I-485 or whatever) stating that her name has changed by virtue of naturalization and do include a copy of her naturalization certificate with that letter even though she will be submitted her naturalization certificate many times for many reasons on all these forms. It's important to include this letter with each form so that the possibility of immigration clerks to overlook it could be ruled out; otherwise immigration clerks are known to make mistakes in overlooking facts/documents too often.

Also, she must need to include her previous name on Form I-130 and G-325A (or wherever its asked) wherein it's asked about OTHER NAME USED.

Good luck....

Finally sending my papers today after finally finding a civil surgeon who knew what they were doing (i came in on the K1 fiance visa, so only had to have vaccination part done on medical form, getting a doctor to do just that however is another matter, as they kept insisting i needed whole medical. obviously they can't read instructions.) I live in Orlando and district office is Tampa, FL.
