After my marriage in 2018, I came to the US. The valid passport I was carrying came from before my wedding and had my maiden name. Six months ago, I had one extension completed and the I-797 has a maiden name. My passport has just expired now, so I’m going to reissue my new passport. My AOS is still in progress and all types in the AOS use the maiden name since, while expired, that is the name on the current passport. I figured it was the best time to have my name changed from a maiden name to a married name because I had to go for a new passport. However, the problem is that (1) current I797 has a maiden name (2) the AOS forms I will send have maiden names so that AP and EAD that I get will have maiden names afterward. So it is best to stick to the maiden name in the new passport for now in this scenario and go for some name change after the AOS is fully accepted so that the procedure does not have flight complications.
