Thanks BB and MJ.. I have the same questions as well :o)

Yes. All forms in married name if that's what you want on the card.

I have a question about the AP.. Is it only valid for travel during AOS? Not for the 2-yr temporary GC?

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

AP is a temporary travel permission in case your GC takes a long time. Same with EAD. The GC gives you the right to travel and work, so AP is no longer needed.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

So I have a question. I am moving to PA and my fiance is from there, but we are having our wedding in VT. We get the marriage license from VT right? Do we need to send the actual certificate with the AOS or just a photocopy? And also what is a good way to package all the AOS documents, since they are together with EAD and AD forms? Should I do 3 separate envelopes enclosed in a bigger envelope labeled AOS/EAD/AP? Just wondering what's a good way for it. I am getting nervous I want to make sure I do this right and not get any RFEs.
