Hi! I changed my last name a few months after i received my conditional greencard which was june 2009 . My question is, do I have to request for another greencard with husband's last name on it since the one I have right now has my maiden name. I was able to have my social security card without a problem. And i also want to know if I have to change my last name on my passport too. I hope someone could help me on this one. Thank you in advance.

If you wish to change your name on your greencard you would submit an I-90 with all the required evidence supporting the change.

If you want to also change your passport while residing in then you need to inquire with the nearest PI consulate to the USA for procedures or maybe do it in the PI on your next visit "home"

Eventually you might want to update all of your documents to the new name you have chosen. Unfortunately, almost every step of the way it cost your hard earned money. The SSA won't charge you for an updated SS card but the I-90 for the new Green Card cost hundreds of dollars, the new driver license cost about $28 (depending on your State) and the new passport for the Philippines will most likely cost hundreds of dollars as well.

The price of a new name: about $600 or priceless, depending on your point of view.

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.
