Filing for I-485 and having some questions

[Pase2323 9]

Hi everyone

 

I am currently getting all the documents ready for my adjustment of status so we will be ready to file them after our wedding in a few weeks.

While filling out the forms I was wondering something.

When we applied for the marriage certificate, I already wrote on the sheet that I would like to take my fiancé's last name. I read that by doing so I can use my new name right after the wedding and it's legal. But a little voice in my head issues me some headache and I can't ignore it. Can I file the documents with my new name or do I have to file them with my maiden name since my visa (K1) was on my maiden name as well? This might be a weird question but I REALLY don't want to be denied because of this 😅 

 

Also, the part "in care of" in the documents address section: if this is my address, can I just leave it empty or should I add N/A?

And another one (🙈) in my I-485 Document I'm asked for my Given Name (First Name) on my I-94... for some reason, my middle name is, in this I-94 document, a part of my first name (I don't spell them with a hyphen, so the second name is a real middle name)  but I always write it into the "Middle name" field... should I write it into the "first name" field this time to be completely correct and write N/A into the "middle name" field although its always not like this? 

 

Maybe I'm waaay too much in my head and overthink this but I also don't want to be denied  thanks in advance!

I can answer the first part. I did my I-485 with my new name and made sure to have my maiden name in the "Other names I used" part of the form. My I-485 just got approved with no RFE so that part should be fine!
