So basically I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this, I got my case number today and was able to do the choice of agent and pay the aos fee as well, when I first sent my i-130 in over 7 months ago to start this process I did so with my maiden name, now that I am at the nvc step I have since changed my name over to my married name. Will they change this if I ask or what will I have to do so it is changed. Thanks.

Your visa will come in passport name. Have you changed your passport? When you fill in and do everything with the IV documents that will show you've changed your name.

I had the same experience. They did everything in my maiden name, but I had submitted my new passport during NVC and my case complete email came in my married name. Everything will be okay.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

sorry I'm the petitioner so the visa is for my husband not me but I got the answer thank you.

Oh that's a different thing then. Sometimes it's good to note in the first post if you're the petitioner or not. We had another member who just put it in her sig. LOL
