FAMILY NAME ( I-485 AOS)

[foebia]

Is it better to use one or the other?

I will try to get SSN card with the married name, so I think it is better to use the married name on all other documents unless they request a maiden name. Am I asking for trouble? hehe

 

 

thanks,

When you apply for an SSN using the married name, you effectily have changed her name. This is less confusing as you will no longer get into the first name/last name vs. surrname/given name nightmare. I did it this way and had no problems with the I-485 and AOS. Actually I applied for AOS before we had the SSN but I used her married name (my last name) and everything went smoothly
