    The nurse/doctor make you put all the shots the papers say if not they don't fill them!
    I got my medical exam in September too and I didn't get the flu shot either.
    But they print me an exact copy of everything that was inside of the envelope for me to keep so I saw everything they wrote

    bio page for both US citizen and intending immigrant will suffice...and then just take along the foreign spouse's passport to the interview for the sake of it (although doubt they'll need it- they didn't need it in our case). That is what we did...had no problem at all.

    You are being awfully rude.
    OP: When I filed (about 2 years ago or so) the instructions specified that they wanted copies of ALL passport pages for the US citizen. Bio page and visa pages for the immigrant sufficed. However it doesn't specify that anymore for the US citizen, so I would assume bio page + stamped pages are fine.

    If your zip code matches North Hollywood, then use what works. What matters is that you get whatever they send you.

    Diana SA reacted to Mollie09 in Surname issue form I-130 PLEASE HELP!!   
    The person who told you that was not wrong. Brazilians don't usually have middle names. Your passport says you have two last names, those are the ones you have to use as your last names. When you fill out any legal forms you have to enter them as they appear on your passport, until you change it.
    For a little background: when I moved to the US eight years ago I never realized this would be a problem because old Brazilian passports listed the full name without separating First/Middle/Last. Then, people used to think my name was First/Middle/Last when it was actually First/Last/Last and I had a hard time fighting that uphill battle to get them to understand it.
    The new passports (starting 2010/2011) separate first and last names, and since I got a new one I've had to change everything (including my SSC, driver's license, etc) to reflect that. It's still confusing to Americans that people can have two non-hyphenated last names. I'm actually trying to drop my second last name because of it.

    Something similar happened to me with the old and new names since in Spain we have 2 last names. Here they put one of them as the middle name everywhere and I just keep saying its 2 last names but they dont get it.
    So I just filled the papers I-130 and 485 with my new married name and when it sayd maiden name or other names used I use the one in my passport. So you probably need to use the one for the birth certificate.
    I went to the bank and they took my name from the passport and put 1 of my last names as my middle name and now my debit card doesnt match my Spanish ID.
    Im just keeping my given name and my husbands last name. No middle name not my 2 spanish last name I think it will be too much confusion for documents

    Use your married name on your green card, if that is the name you are going to use. Anytime you need to use your passport for anything, keep your marriage certificate at hand and use that as a verification of your name change.
    You likely will need to continue to book airline flights (especially international) in your passport name, but once you can update your passport you can change it (I assume) there too.

    Diana SA reacted to Harpa Timsah in can i change my last name after getting married to USC if i am out of status   
    A marriage certificate is a valid name change document, if you choose to change it. It doesn't automatically change, but you are permitted to start using a different name based on your husband's name if you so wish. If you want to start going by your husband's name, then it is definitely advisable to apply for your GC in your married name - what a great way to eventually show the SS Office that you changed your name! (BTW a marriage certificate also serves this purpose at the SS Office). USCIS is used to this and it's totally fine. Bottom line, if you want to go by married name, apply for your GC in your married name. You can use it on the forms.

    Diana SA reacted to Ronny_Cari in I-452 write N/A or let spaces in blank issue   
    There are forms that specifically tells to leave the space blank if the answer is NONE or N/A. In my case, I just followed on what the instruction says. Hope this helps. By the way, you are applying for adjustment of status right? Did you mean to type I-485?
