Different name passport and GC!

[melemelex 0]

I recently becoming a permanent resident last year and planning on going back to my home country within the next 3 months, i already bought the airline ticket with the same name on my passport. My concern is my passport doesnt have the last name that my GC has (because i got adopted). My question is: is it ok for me to travel back and come here to US officer if my last name is different? is it fine? HELP!

Bring a copy of the documentation that shows how your name has changed.

This is typically a copy of marriage cert. ALSO make sure you book airline tickets using passport name, typically airline officials handling international flights compare tickets to passport, and if names don't match, they can deny boarding the aircraft.

If you got adopted, do you have papers of that? Because that should document your namechange as well...

You should have something documenting your name change through adoption. Otherwise, you may want to contact the nearest consulate of your home country to see how difficult it would be to renew your passport with your current name.
