Quick question,

I changed my maiden name to my husband's last name on my US driver's License, SSN, Canadian Passport and all my credit cards. I did not do a name change on my green card. Is that necessary? And if so, how do I go abouts doing that?

I will file in Dec to have my conditoins removed and was wondering if I should spend the extra money to have that done. If I dont get it done, will I be in any sort of trouble?

I am going to visit Canada in July so my passport and my green card will not match (last name only, everything else is the same) I plan to bring my old passport with my maiden name on it. Do you think that'll be ok? (Husband traveling with me, dont know if that'll make a difference?!)

Anyone in that situation before? Please advise.. thanks!

You file form I-90 and pay a fee ($370) for getting it re issued in new name.

Other option id to wait and when you file I-751 to remove conditions, you file the I751 using married name.

Recommended to carry copy of document showing how name changed usually marriage cert, with you when traveling.
