Hello

Here's my situation. When I got married, I was out of status, that's why I didn't change my last name then. (Social security cannot issue new card without proper ID)

But now, after I'm almost through with the steps in getting a green card (an interview left), I am confused about how I can get it with the new last name.

Today I received Empoyment authorization card. Can I use it to change my ssc? (But I don't have any proof of legal status)

Can I get a state ID after that?

If i do receive a new ssc, can I tell that on the interview, so they'd issue a green card whith the new last name?

But there might not be enough time (Interview is in a month)

Sorry, it's very confusing, but I don't know what I should do myself

We got Request for evidence about a month ago and sent the docs right away (it was delivered as checked by post receipt) But still there is no change in online status. How to find out if they received it?

By the way, they sent us two similar RFE letters, within a week (we responded to one)

Is there a way to know if they received the docs?

Or Should we send same docs with second RFE?

Thank you

Thanks a lot for helpful information!

I have a couple more unsolved questions

When we got married we requested certified copies of Marriage Certificate. But we only received Certified abstracts (small green papers) (which I think is not exactly what we need) I called the Court, and they said they only can send abstracts (but I read everywhere - USCIS requires COPY of the Original Certificate). What should I do? How can I obtain Copy of Marriage Certificate? (It's Franklin County, OH)

And another question - do we need to send a copy (printed), or an original of Certificate of Naturalization? (or certified?)

I'll really appreciate any advice

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, we file both I-485 and I-130 packages together.

So should there be 2 cover letters then?

Hello! I have some questions concerning I-130 package.

We almost have everything ready, just a couple of things needs to be cleared up

01. A cover letter. What should it look like? Is it An A4 sheet with typed list of everything we have in the package? Or should we describe our case in that letter? Where can I possibly have a look at the example of cover sheet?

02. My husband just recently became US citizen. he doesn't have a passport yet, is it ok to just send a copy of Naturalization Certificate?

03. What should I write as "current USCIS status" if my J-1 visa expired? Should I say "out of status" or "J-1 visa"

Thank you for any information
