Legal Name Change

[northstar492006 0]

Hello Everyone

Im submitting, or I will in the near future, but I somewhere on this site, for the K1 guide says I must provide legal name change. But I dont see if I submit my paper work to USCIS, they wouldnt know this until the interview which she will have legally name change. Because we have been waiting for over 7 months for the judge to see her, anyone comment, or suggestions?

I'm confused. Are you saying you or your fiancee have applied for a legal name change but it has not yet come through, and you're getting ready to send in your I 129f petition?

*edited to add the extra 'e' to fiancee *

To clarify - is your fiancee in the process of getting a legal name change? If so, it would be prudent to wait until after that goes through before you submit an I-129F.

If you're asking whether you should go ahead with submitting your I-129F, because you anticipate your fiancee's legal name change to go through before those documents are necessary to submit to USCIS, that's another story. I don't generally recommend doing things in the trend of "I should submit this since in a few months I'm going to have this document anyway!" because I find that can potentially cause issues months later.

As it stands, I'm not sure how legal it is to submit a petition while your fiancee is in the midst of getting her name changed.
