special paperwork needed?

[peruvian princess 0]

My wife and I were married 2 weeks ago and my Peruvian wife is trying to get an AOS. My wife was here on a tourist visa. Her visa ended on January 25th. We were married march 13th. We were told by an immigration attorney that overstaying by less than 180 days is not a big problem. We have a few questions:

1) My wife was overstaying her visa, it was 30 days and she stayed here 70 days before we got married. Are there any special paperwork that needs to be filed besides the standard AOS applications and paperwork?

2) my wife did not do any thing to specifically change her name, so all of her documentation has her maiden name on it, does this mean she should use her maiden name, or my last name, which she will be assuming? Do we have to file any special paperwork to make her name change official?

You will need to file an I-130 as well for her (petition for a relative) which you would file at the same time as the AOS paperwork. If she put a name change on the marriage certificate you can use that for change of name, otherwise you will have to figure out the name change procedures in your state. Most require proof she is here legally if its going through the courts, so you may have to wait for her GC, but you should be able to google name changes for your state to see the procedure.

If your wife is indeed a Peruvian princess, and not just claiming to be one, you may want to check into the advantages for Heads of State and diplomatic status.

Actally she is only my "inca Princess" so the imigration office said that she was not in fact eligible for heads of state and diplomatic status priveledges!
