if you filed the 1-751 in your maiden name, then got married to your husbands name when the permenent resident comes, if you want to change it to your married name you have to pay for a new card, to be printed in your married name coast 450.00 form 1-90...if you filed the 1-751 in your marreid name your ok then your ss number is in married name your, id in married names,that maches your name on your permenent resident card,

hmmm...did you come in US through K1??does that mean that your previous husband(1st) was your original petitioner??..then you got your 2 yr. conditional greencard but then you got divorced with him before/within your 2 years of marriage..then you got married(a month fater you filed your I-751) & now have a new husband...that's a lil complicated one..I really thought that whenever you file your I-751, you need alot of documents to prove your true marriage with the original petitioner or else your marriage was just a fraud(except for VAWA cases) and you will not get approved with a 10 yr. greencard..btw,those were just my own understanding, if ever I said something wrong please do correct it..hehehe :D ......I really hope you can find good advices from members here who knows alot about your situation...God bless on your journey!!
