Hello!

 

Similar questions have been asked several times here, but I could not find an answer so far.

 

I have taken my husband's surname after the marriage, and we are now collecting documents necessary to apply for a SSN, AoS etc.

 

I do not know what to do with the fact that my US documents are from now on will have my husband's surname and the passport I currently hold will have my maiden name. 

I want to visit my family sometime in winter and (probably) apply for a new passport - this time to have my married name indicated in it.

 

What would you recommend (based on your experience) to do with the documents from one's home country? Apply to update them while visiting the home country / apply through the embassy of the home country in the United States / keep the passport until it expires and then change the surname?

 

Thank you!
