I wanted to know how and if it is easy to change my maiden name to my married name, my husband already had his interview a few months ago at the embassy and we are waiting in administrative processing for the visa.

I thought to change my last name to his name but do not know how to go about it and if it will cause any delay at this point of the process?

anyone have similar experience where they changed their name after the interview.

I am the U.S. petitioner by the way.
