QUESTION
Can I file for my Green Card with my husband's last name?
Asked on Apr 10th, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I recently started my process for the green card through marriage with my husband. When I married my husband, I made sure that I added my husband’s last name to my marriage certificate. Now that I have started my adjustment of status package, I didn't mention to the doctor doing my I-963 to make sure to put my marriage last name on that form. I want to make sure that when I get my green card is under my husband’s last name. Should I just file all the other forms with my husband’s last name? Or should I make sure all the forms have the same filing name? I also don't want to keep my middle name or my maiden name at all. WHAT SHOULD I FILE AS?

You file it as whatever you want your last name to be on your green card.

Yes. It's okay to use your married name on the I-485 application. If you are concerned about the name on the medical exam, you can ask the clinic to issue a new one with the married name before you mail it to USCIS.
