Are you onshore? Just put on your application your other name. In the question "have you ever been know...other names" something like that. Make sure to submit Marriage certificate.
Once I got married I changed all my IDs and documents except my university. So my transcripts and diploma are in my maiden's name. No problems at all when I applied 485.
