I didn't change my name before we sent out the AOS paperwork. Is it ok to do so during the process, or would you recommend I wait until he receives his green card? How will it affect the process?

As an addendum to this question: Can we check the status of AOS like we did for our k-1? Will we get a new case number? I'm still waiting for my NOA, but I wanted to prepare myself ahead of time for things....you all know how anxiety-producing this process is, and I guess I'm just trying to keep my mind busy...

If you're the "she", and the petitioner, I don't think there is any problem with you changing your name at any time! I know for some VJ'ers, myself included, that the decision to change names was due to marriage, and how our "new" US paperwork would be coming in. ie. SSN, GC, EAD etc.

Like you did for the K-1, you'll get a new number and you can track that on-line, however I found that it's not updated very well at all. But you have nothing to lose!
