I thought the same thing, my marriage cert doesn't have my new name either. Confused me but our lawyer filed under my new name,

Thanks very much! Glad to know someone else went through the same thing

I would go back to the SS office and change your name to reflect your new married name--you need to bring your marriage certificate to do this. In the AOS application, you should attach copies of your marriage certificate to show that your last name is now the same as your husbands.

As far as the I864, your husband would be filling out the form using his last name, since that's the name that you said you were taking and that's what should be reflected on his SS card as well.

Right, I can go change my social security card to reflect my new name (have to file my papers this week though if I want to file on time so I'll have to mail it in and THEN go to the Soc Sec Office... )

But is it okay that our marriage cert shows my maiden name? We weren't even given the option to use my new married name.

I finally gave up on trying to speak to a real person at USCIS - here's my situation

I already have a Social Security Card in my maiden name (which I got while I was in college).]We got married in PA and my marriage certificate shows my maiden name.

I want to take my husband's name.

I read in one of these forums that people just fill out the forms when adjusting status using their new married name (I-485, I-765, G-325a). Is it okay for me to do this even if my marriage certificate and my SSC show my maiden name?

Also, does that mean my husband fills out the affidavit of support using my new married name?

Thanks so much for your help everyone.

The original DS-3025 is not and should not be taken at the POE.

The interviewing officer at the embassy (at your k-1 interview) is supposed to return it to you, not include it in the sealed package.

I'm not sure what does go in the sealed package but I assume either they copy of or tick it off on a checklist. But the original is yours to keep

vaccination supplement with your Form I-485

Yet visajourney's checklist states:

. Regardless of if you are exempt from a medical exam, you are still required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US.

I've just gotten married under a K-1 visa and am applying for a change of status to permanent resident.

I have my DS-3025 (which shows all vaccinations completed) and it was completed only a few months ago (so it's still valid).

1) Do I need to submit an 1-693? (half of the registered doctors in my area refuse to do it without a full medical which I don't need and the rest just sound confused).

2) If I do need to submit it, exactly what parts need to be filled out? Do they just need to transcribe the info on my vaccines etc. or leave it blank?

I feel bad to ask this question when I know other people already have but I've looked through pretty much every forum but I really haven't found a clear answer for my situation (all vaccinations given, DS-3025 available etc).

Thanks all.
