Marina Louzada

Yes! My deadline is march 8th

Hi, guys so I will call them on Monday to see what is going on... 
Basically, they asked me to send evidence of my name change so some sort of ID, wedding certificate, etc. 
What I think is weird is because I sent a copy of my wedding certificate with my application and on the forms when they asked for other names used I stated my maiden name. I have a SSN with my married name on it and I tried getting a state ID today but they wouldn't let me because my I-94 is already expired.

That's super weird! That's how a lot of people are ensuring they get their GC in their married name - by simply typing it that way in the forms!
I don't really know what kind of evidence you can provide except for your marriage certificate which is legal proof of the change. But you already provided it... Oh, USCIS, what a mess. Maybe try calling them to clarify the situation.

Hi guys, I am pretty sad... Just got a RFE on the mail today. I thought it was my EAD and AP card but no..
What I don't understand is that they are saying that the name I provided on the form doesn't match other USCIS records because on the forms I used my married name, Marina Giallonardo, but the records say my name is Marina Louzada (my maiden name) 
 
I sent the package my wedding certificate, apparently, that was not enough to prove the name change?! I am so confused! 

Hello everyone! 
I came here on a fiance visa and got married in August.
Today I got an RFE asking for more proof of my name, they state that on my forms I used the name Marina G (married name) but that on their records it says that I am
Marina L (maiden name). I have sent my wedding certificate together with my application and in all the forms when asked for other names used I wrote my maiden name. 
I am really confused because so far all the information I saw was that people that have had their names changed used their married names on the Adjustment of Status, EAD and AP forms! 
Have anyone seen anything like this? I can't find our mistake! 
 

 
 

Hello everyone! So I haven't received my EAD permit yet but the wife of one of my husband's co-workers (that also filled in October) just got hers this week! 
We are getting there!

Hi everyone,   I had my biometrics appointment today. It was pretty smooth I was out of there less than 15 minutes after arriving. 
 
The only thing I would like to add is that my married name is different than my maiden name and I brought my passport as a picture ID with my maiden name in it, so the officer asked for my wedding certificate to check my name change.  I did not bring my wedding certificate because I didn't think it was necessary, it was not really a problem because he went on the back and looked through my files to see the copy of the wedding certificate I sent with my AOS. But to be honest I would have liked to know that they might ask for it just so it didn't look like I was unprepared.

Thank you.
I finally received e-notifications from USCIS a couple of days ago. So that was a relief. And now, to more waiting.  Good luck!

We have the same timeline but haven't received my biometrics letter yet

Sam just to let you know I got my biometrics letter today , my appointment is on 6th of November 😚 hope you have a good weekend ! 

Sent out my AOS package earlier today. Should be there in 2-3 days so I might be a October filer as well haha.
I'm actually adjusting from a J1 visa but if you don't mind I'll hang out here too

Hey there! When you receive the text messages they will come with a tracking number that you can use on the My USCIS website to check for any updates. 
Unfortunately, they don't update it very often so it is a long wait!

My wife used Filipino custom of keeping surname (fathers last name) and dropping her middle name (mothers maiden name. Hoping it won't be a problem, but so far no one has said anything, on our marriage certificate we did this also, and her WA state ID. This might be a good question to ask in the Philippines forum. 
 
Also your legal name now is your new married name, so when filing your AOS you should use your legal name not the one on your passport since it has changed.

Just Received NOA1 last night for I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765!!! They are all being processed at NBC(MSC). The processing times are confusing there..

Then you've met stupid Brazilians. That is extremely stupid and rude

Rude and sexist!
