I know there are lots of posts on being able to use your green card in your married name and your passport in your maiden name to enter back into the States without a problem, but no one has mentioned which name to write on the customs declaration card? When I flew back into Canada a week ago I put my maiden name on decleration card so it matched my passport and had no problems going back into Canada, however, when I go back to the States I am worried about matching it to my passport beacause green card has new married name on it. Does anyone know which name I should write on the decleration card so I do not cause any issues at customs?

Thanks :)

To U.S. customs, you'll show your Green Card and the U.S. customs form. Those two should match. The fact that your passport is still in your maiden name is totally irrelevant here.

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.
