When Trisha changed her name and became USC on Sep 19th we were told to wait on SS since it took a few weeks to update the computer.
She did bank first who only needed to make a copy of the name change. then she went to the DL which also does passports. She got both of them done.
utilities were all done over the phone. Same with most credit cards.
One card required use to fax the court documents and either a copy of a passport or new DL or State issued ID card.
Also do not forget at work for benefits such as medical and dental cards plus life insurance, 401K beneficaries, etc, etc.

We did not get the red ribbon. Just a copy of what the registrar provides you. We had no RFE either. Marry Sep 29th. Sent in I-130 on 10/2. We could have sent it on 9/29 but we had to enjoy sometime to ourselves.

The problem with a divorce from Singapore is if the lady applies for it NSO will not recognize it. If the husband is a citizen from Singapore he can apply for it and then it works. But if he is also from the Philippines that the only solution is annulment.

No advice but maybe she's here on her family's advice if they're so happy and she's so sad? Just a thought.

HUGE difference in prices(night and day, sometimes triple for the 'good' hotels).
For your budget, you've got lots of choices I'm sure.
I like:

The Venetian
Paris
MGM Grand (the rooms are nice)
Luxor (especially if you can get a view and in the pyramid don't be fooled, most of their rooms are not in the pyramid).

The Rio is nice - not on the strip but rooms are great (all suites I believe).
