Hi

i recently got married.. now i need to file AOS

if i change my last name with social security, should i use my married name on all my forms (AOS, EAD and AP)?

what about my passport and I-94.. that will still have my maiden name?

Yes, the name you want to keep is the one you have to use. You can add your maiden name on the space that says other names used.

If you don't add your married name, you green card will come with your maiden name and in the future, in case you want to change it, you will need to pay extra to modify it. Every single document but your passport needs to have the same name (Green Card, Social Security Card and forms).

Yes, fill out the AOS forms with your new name.

You can change the name in your passport when you want to. Just make sure that when you travel by air you buy tickets with your MAIDEN name (the one that matches the passport) and carry your marriage certificate with you.
