Hello everybody,

I have been married for 3 years and a half and I already have my green card. I never changed my name (I still use my maiden name) but I want to do it now.

The question is this: Can my maiden name become my new middle name? I called USCIS customer service and they said NO. According to the CSR, marriage only changes your last name, not your middle name. So if I am Ana Maria Perez, I have to become Ana Maria Smith. But I want to be Ana Perez Smith.

The CRS answer seem odd too me (hello, Hillary Rodman Clinton). I called Social Security Administration and they said I can indeed replace my original middle name with my maiden name.

Any experiences? I am going to e-file the petition. I will have to show the proper documentation (my marriage certificate) at my district office. Do you think there will be any problem?
