Spouse last name on forms

[izmircoast 0]

Hi guys,

I just paid the AOS fee and waiting for it to be cleared before sending the AOS paperwork. My wife took my last name when we got married and it has been stated on the marriage certificate, moreover i have filled out the I-130 with her new last name. Now at the NVC stage, i have filled out the DS 261 and automatically my wifes maiden last name appeared on the online registration, I called the NVC and was told that whatever is last name appears in her travel document go with that, which is her maiden last name. I am filling out the I-864 and its asking for Family Name, should i use my last name or my wifes maiden name? The DS 230 also asks for a family name but theres a section called "other names used or aliases" which i can place her maiden name. I wonder if anyone has any ideas and experience with this situation. i will be calling the NVC as well once the phone lines ease up.

Thanks so much guys

Hi! Me too when I get married I took the last of my husband. In the online form appear my new last name, so you can write maiden name in a second part of this form.

i spoke with NVC and they told me to go with whats on her travel documents again, however they said that they will cross reference with the new last name, i guess by looking at the marriage certificate. happy to see that ur case is completed, does that mean that they issued you guys an interview date or still waiting?

visa will be in passport name and green card will be in passport name. It is $450 to change the green card. So if you want the green card in married name you can either change the passport before interview (bring the old one as well) or wait until ROC or green card renewal to change it (to save the most money.)

Hi NLR, if the green card there will be with my maiden name, and all my petition was made with my married name, once they are in Us can I have problems?
