changing my last name to my husband’s in the middle of my GC process
is it ok to take my husband’s last name in the middle of the GC process? I already have my work permit and social but those have my last name. will this affect anything? do I update uscis? any idea guys? I just want to know since my name change appointment with Social security is in 2 days. if you guys have any info on this please share.

I am not sure the answer but for some reason my lawyer told me to wait until after my green card was approved. I thought it was kind of weird but they said I didn’t have enough time to change all my documents before application. don’t ask me for the logic on “after” green card.

I suggest you wait till you get everything sorted. the system is delicate and something huge like a name change can really trigger delays

don't change yet till after citizenship actually, no need to, it'll just confuse the USCIS especially since your application is pending

I was planning on doing the same thing I mean when I went to get married they didn't even ask in my country it's different when you get married your name is change except if you wish to keep it. I wasn't giving the option

@Green buzz I guess I will wait

@Kimoya 🇯🇲 I'm Jamaican and once you marry u get your husband's last name unless you choose to keep yours. so getting married in America was strange
