Hi All,

I am about a month away from my interview for the IR 1. I have not yet changed my name to my husband's, as pretty much since our wedding, we have been either traveling or filing paperwork and I hated the idea of messing with the already lengthy visa process.

Now I know that I can wait until I have my green card and then file some more paperwork and send some more money to finally change my name but is that the best way to go? Should I change it in this one month and let them know at the interview?

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd really appreciate any advice you might have.

Thanks.
