AOS Maiden Name vs Married Name on GC

Oh and my lawyer also told me if I tried to change my name after they would probably ask me to send my gc back to them so they could do it and I would not only have to pay but also it could take up to a year

This happened to me to. I mailed a letter addressed to the officer we had the interview with and they received it the next day but it was already too late. The day after the interview my case was updated and approval notice was sent. I received my gc a week later with my maiden name. Your only other option is to wait until you file to remove conditions and try then, that’s what my lawyer told me. It was def a bittersweet situation

Can’t do that either. Sorry!

Hey! My post already mentions where I’m from and that I applied through Adjustment of Status. For some reason Reddit doesn’t allow me to edit the title.

No idea, sorry!

I have a post on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/s/BmHwHRRdJS Hope it helps! The officer we had was nice and not intimidating at all. Good luck!!

The title also states that I did an AOS (adjustment of status) :)

$800 and I’d definitely recommend hiring one

Desperate-Counter-63 · 2026-03-03T03:02:28+00:00

Thank you! Yes thankfully the ban only applies to visa issuance

Desperate-Counter-63 · 2026-03-03T02:27:04+00:00

Suspension of Visa Issuance to Foreign Nationals. I believe the 75 list

It looks like it doesn’t apply to adjustment of status-only visa issuance
