Name Change after marriage

[elsmile 0]

Hello, I have a name change related question. Me and my husband were married in the US June of 09. I am a native of Bulgaria and he is a US Citizen. We did not hire a lawyer because our case is really not all that complicated ( I am currently on F1 so I just need to adjust status) although some questions are arising along the way. I want to take his last name and have my maiden name as my middle name. I was told to fill out all of the paperwork with how I want my name to appear on my immigration documents and on the questions: Other names previously used? to write my current name....Anyone have experience with the same case? Here is a more visual example of how I want my name to appear:

Current: Fist Name / Middle Name / Maiden Family Name

New Name: First Name/ Maiden Family Name / Married Family Name

....I want to drop my "maiden" middle name altogether...

Thanks!

Hi, to write your current name you can use= first name/middle(maiden)/family name(hubby's last name)

For the "other names used" you will put your single name, the one you used before you got married.

For example:

If your name before marriage was: Angelina Jolie - that's what you have to add in other names used.

For the current name you would add: Angelina Jolie Pitt.

haha, sorry for the example, I couldn't think of anything different! lol

Hope that helps!
