Re: F1 holder marrying with resident:

You do not need to change your name on your documents, unless you want to. The government accepts that this is a matter of personal preference and does not reflect on the legitimacy of the marriage. My advice is that you file for the I130 AND the H1. In the past I have seen persons with an H1 get laid off, or companies go out of business, and then that waiting time has been wasted. Also you husband may qualify for and choose to apply for citizenship. Thank you, TCL
