I asked the same question to my attroney before filing. And he said it shouldn't matter but if I knew the dates he will include in there.
So I provided a copy of my OPT and I think he answered Yes and entered the related info.

Say her name is PramilaKumari, it is mentioned as Pramila Kumari(making it look like first name and last name) in my wife's passport and listed as PramilaKumari(one word) in my wife's birth certificate and markscards.
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks
I had the same question in my mind , my mother has no maiden name and also the names were a total mismatch. When I had asked my attorney he said "NOT TO WORRY" and he said this piece of information is necessary and will be used when you will file GC for your siblings. For instance after I become a citizen , I decide to sponser my sibilings or parents then this filed is of concern where the documents produced by the sibilings should match that name.Quote:

Passports won't have maiden name . It will have name 'after' marriage isn't it?Quote:

a) My lawyer's fee (NYC area) is $500 for my wife's application (My fee was higher but my company paid for that).

b) Cheapest PHX area civil surgeon is Dr. Uma Sopori in Tempe. $200 per person.
c )It took me almost a whole week to get all the documents organized although I'd already done a lot of the leg work earlier (getting our vaccination records, correcting our birth certificates, finding and organizing our old EADs/I20s, etc), so make sure you factor in that if you want to get your application in by the 1st of the month.
Pedro,I did the medicals with Concentra Medical Centers. I do see there is one in Tempe, AZ.
They just charged $191.50 per adult and $151.50 per child.
Yes, you are right. Its always better to keep the support documents ready and just work on the Medicals, I485, EAD, AP and Affidavit of Supports when eligible to file.
It took 8 business days for my family and I to complete the forms and the Medicals. We are ready now :)

We communicated mostly on mail for any changes. Once all was final he gave green signal to sign the forms and mail him the package.

I filled them out handwritten, and highlighted the fields I wasn't sure of, sent it to the lawyer who typed them in (or rather the paralegal did), filled out the parts I wasn't sure, and sent them back to me to double check, sign and send back to her to send to the USCISQuote:

I was luck to know all this kind of things from senior(old) H1B friends. Taking there advice I had filed my I485 by my own lawyer without letting company know.
Reason I am posting this here is my other friend working for desi consulting also received similar letter from his company.
Once you get your greencard, check with your lawyer to see if you can sue them for inappropriate practices. If not for money, for justice - bring the mofos down!
PS - my wife had complained about labor practices of her company in the Department of Labor because they would not pay her dues after she resigned. The DOL was supportive and she recieved all the money back. The DOL had asked if any inappropriate practices had prevailed in the company and my wife had the chance to bring them down, but our main issue was the money that was due so we just stuck to that.

Typed and hand written combination should not be a problem IMO. Important thing is there should not be any 'whitener etc' used to correcting the entries.Quote:

It should be 3 sets. My attorney asked me 3 sets (Me, MyWife and Daughter), buddy.Quote:

Randomax,
Forget the medicals and get the other documents in line and be ready. Ramchan & Nishant has pretty much summed up all the required supporting documents.
Check the posts #1 and #19 in this forum for the document list.
You can get the medicals done as soon as you are eligible to get 485. But get your vaccination records in place. Good luck :)
The medicals are valid only for 1 year and you can get an appointment within a week (MAX). I got an appointment in a day.

I also got puzzled by question like " Class of Admission" on I-131. For me i last entered US on F1 but later status changed to H1B. I thought F1 would be right answer, but lawyer says NO. H1B is right answer. What USCIS really wants to ask is the current status. :(
Yes MaidenName = Name before Marriage. It could be both First and Last name as in some parts on India they even change Firstname after marriage.
