Question on Name Change- file for GC.

[piplanih]

Hi all,

I'm applying for my wife's GC (I-130, I-485, I-864, I-365) who's currently on a F-1 student visa.
While applying for her paperwork, what form does one fill out to change her last name to her married name? Or is the recommendation to change last name after her GC comes thru to allow for speedier processing?
My own status is that of US Citizen.

Thanks as usual.

there is no form to change her last name.

If she wants to have her GC in her married name, she needs to fill out all the forms using her married name. She will also be able to first change her SSN with a marriage certificate, and then all the credit cards, driver's license (if she wants to).

I waited till I got my GC, and then I changed my last name on all of the documents (except SSN - I changed it right after the wedding).
