Did you use in all forms ( I-485, I-864, G-325A, I-765, I-131 ) your married name? I am very confused. I-864 asked for household members. Should my husband writes as currently married? If so, he will have 4 in all instead of 3 ( him, me and our son ) as I am listed PRINCIPAL IMMIGRANT.

Thank you for more inputs

For your last name, you choose which last name you want in the AOS/AP/EAD forms.

In some places, it will ask for your maiden name as well.

Hello there,

I recently filed for AOS for my K-1 (wife) and K-2 (step daughter) and filled out a G-325A for my step daughter as well. It is my understanding that a G-325A is not needed for the US Citizen only.

Good luck on your AOS journey! :)

Thank you for more inputs

Follow the form directions for the I-864. You are the person being sponsored and since it states 'DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE', you do not list a 1 for you again under 'Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit'. See example > http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-864.pdf

Should I make form G-325A for k2 as well?

thanks again

This depends on the child's age. Those under 14 do not need one. They also pay a smaller fee if under 14. See the I-485 form instructions.> http://www.uscis.gov/i-485

I'm confused why people ask this question.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? That is the name you use.

Your name only changes if you legally went to a court and changed it from your birth name.

Uhm...I think you've twisted her question to make it sound like a stupid question.

Her confusion of whether to use the maiden name or married name

in AOS/EAD/AP applications is a very common one that occurs here

regularly on VJ site practically every month.
