I have my tempory Green Card in my married name and my passport is in my previous name. I have travelled with my marriage certificate and things went ok. I think it would go smoother if I had my passport stamped in my married name. I understand that you get a stamp from the consulate. Can anyone give me some more info on this and how I go about it. Would it be better to get my whole passport changed? Mine is a british one. Can anyone point me to the appropriate website?

I changed my UK passport to my married name... it was cheaper to just get a new passport than to just change the name as my passport only had 18 months left on it...

It only took 2 weeks to get both my old passport and my new one back from Washington....

I just sent my passport in to have a stamp put in and a new page put in with my new name..

It took 2 weeks and $12CDN..

I did this because I just re-newed my passport 9 mths before I got married..

Cheers!

Try the website for the British Consulate in the US?

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.
