H4 EAD - Last name change

[Reet838383]

My husband has an approved H1 Extension. I also have approved H4 Extension along with H4 EAD. Recently I got renewed my passport with "Name change" (From maiden name to married name).

My H4 Extension (including I-94) and H4 EAD both has my maiden name.

Now, my question are
1. Do I need to file EAD application again under my married name? Or Can I begin work with H4 EAD that has my maiden name?
2. If I can work with H4 EAD which has maiden name then what name should I use while applying for job maiden name or married name?

3. In case if I have to file EAD application again with married name then what document I need to submit to get the updated EAD with married name?

Hi,
Please see my response below.
1. Do I need to file EAD application again under my married name?
Answer: It is not required at this time. You can consider changing name when you file H4 EAD Ext.
Or Can I begin work with H4 EAD that has my maiden name?
Answer: You can consider the changed one. But, please use both the passports whenever it makes any questions.
2. If I can work with H4 EAD which has maiden name then what name should I use while applying for job. maiden name or married name?
Answer: You can proceed as per your new passport details. If any question raises, you can show your both the passports and can give clarification.
3. In case if I have to file EAD application again with married name then what document I need to submit to get the updated EAD with married name?
Answer: I think your new passport is good enough proof. Along with that, you can give some other photo identity documents confirming the same. Sometimes, affidavit would help on this matter.
Thanks
