Changing last name on 10yr GC

Hi Guys,

I searched the forum, but it wasn't very clear to me.

My mom is having a little issue. Her 10yr GC has my father's last name (let's call it CHU) but every other ID has her maiden name (let's call it CHUO) - this include her passport, driver's license, SSN or any other documents she has. We think that it'll be easier if she change her last name on her GC to CHUO. What kind of form should we use? I-90? and what kind of supporting document is needed?

Any input will be appreciated! :D

Thanks!!

Did your mother just receive her GC or did she have it for a while now? Did USCIS simply chose to switch the name? If you can provide more details on which is correct then maybe other will have a better idea on what to suggest...

If your mother's legal name is Mrs. UMP, her driver license, her passport, her social security card, and her green card should have the name UMP on it.

If your mother's legal name is Mrs. MUP, her driver license, her passport, her social security car, and her green card should have the name MUP on it.

Simplified, all legal documents that are valid should have the correct name of the person on it. Since we don't know what the correct legal name of your mother is, it's impossible to tell which document or documents need to be changed in order to reflect your mother's correct name.

Only one thing is certain: few things in the immigration world cause so much trouble as name changes, for what reasons they may have occurred. Only gender changes are more of a hassle.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
