So I got my green card yesterday :star: and thought that would be the end of USCIS for the next 2 years. I was wrong. Went to SS office to get my SS card updated saying I am now permanent resident. Turns out I am still in my maiden name in USCIS systems. How can this be?? I thought my AOS in my married name is the name change I have to do with USCIS?

So now I have greencard as First name: Freyja Middle initial (initial of maiden name) Last name: Married name

While passport is Freyja Middle name Last Name: Maiden name + Married name

While apparently USCIS system has First name: Freyja Middle name Last name: Maiden Name

I am going to Sweden next week. Starting to worry the mismatch in names, especially USCIS system and my GC will be a problem!

Anyone has advice. Am going to call USCIS now. Was there another name change procedure to do I wasn't aware of? I sent AOS in married name and got new SSN with married name and EAD, AP and GC are all in married name. Don't understand how USCIS system can then have me as maiden name??

Might want to call USCIS see if you can talk to a supervisor or make an infopass appointment to inquire about the name issues.

I called USCIS and they said this is because I came to the country in my maiden name and I am in the system as K-1 Visa holder in maiden name and then AOS in married name. They should see that it is the same person and SS office should do a "status verification". So I think it is my SS office that is confused. They told me to travel next week with my marriage cert, birth cert, green card and passport. OK for next week but dont want to do that forever! Everyone changes their name when they get married so I cant believe it is so much problems. I think my SS office is a bit clueless because can't be this difficult!

Vad var fel med ditt svenska namn?

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.
