Hello,

Has anybody heard about it? Has anyone tried it? Does it work? I am asking because I wonder how important it actually is to have the passport. I will be going back home and coming back with a passport that has my new name while the green card will still have the old one. How much will the difference bother immigration? I will have my old passport (invalidated) with the same name as on the GC but who knows what they may come up with... So, here is the quote:

If you are a green card holder and you do not stay outside the U.S. for 1 year or more you should have either your green card (INS Form I-551, or your returning resident visa to re-enter the United States. You are not required to present your unexpired passport, however, it is not a bad idea to carry it with you.

This is an answer to question no 1 listed here (you can find a lot of information there):

Thanks for your help.
