Hello everyone!

I am about to send my I-751, but I was wondering if I can change my last name with it? For my conditional green card I kept my mother's name but now I want to change my last name to my husband's name. I am not sure if I can just fill out my I-751 with my new name and change it in court after I receive my permanent green card....? Or do I need to change it in court and THEN send the I-751 with my name changed?

I would fill out the ROC paperwork with you're name as you want it on the card, list your AKA's. After you received your new card with the name you want, go change your social and drivers license and your done.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

How about wait until you are ready to file N-400 and THEN do a change of name (including last name)? The one time that it can be done as packet-deal.

I just sent my ROC and used my married name. My GreenCard was issued in my maiden name. My NOA arrived yesterday and was addressed to me in my married name so hopefully they will give me my new GreenCard to me in my married name as well. Hope that helpshappy.gif

This idea looks good. Before ROC , i decided to change my name in the future N-400 process. Because that one is the main one.
