Good day VJs, I have a question regarding "Information about your Current Marriage" in the Form I-485.

 

I am the beneficiary and was on a K1 visa, and I am now married to my USC Spouse. My question is in the Current Spouse's Legal Name tab, do I put my Wife's married name ( we just got married) or her maiden name?

 

Thank you.

Her married name is her current legal name.

Your MC is her legal name change document to validate her proof of US CITIZENSHIP in any other name.

I am wondering, will this be a problem if I put her married name in the box, because we just got married and all her IDs (passport, Drivers License, etc.) are still in her Maiden name.

Not a problem at all. If she wants to use the married name and have the GC in her married name then you must put in her married name or her AP/EAD and late the green card will be in her married name. It costs a bloody arm and a leg to change it later.

You are providing your MC. As above, your MC is her legal name change document that proves she can use any name listed in any format on your MC as her new legal name moving forward even if that name does not appear on her proof of US CITIZENSHIP. 

The MC is your legal name change document.
