Hi:

My wife (conditinal green card) and I (US citizen) will be submitting paper work in order to remove condition. Our current marriage certificate shows her maiden name not my last name. Would it be possible to change her last name to mine when applying for removal of condition? eventhough the marriage certificate does show her maiden name? how should we proceed? all her current documents are under her maiden name. Thanks for the info.

Fabian

I didn't even send my marriage certificate, to be honest. But I don't think it's a big deal. After all, she had a different name when you two got married.

So can I fill in the I751 application with my last name eventhough our marriage certificate shows her maiden name not my last name? I am confused

Thanks,

Just put the name you want your new 10 year green card in in the first section of the i-751. In the "other names used" section simply provide her maiden name. Simple as that.

My wife and I did the same thing.

A marriage certificate is a legal document allowing each party (husband and wife) to change their name. There is no time limit to do that.

If your wife has now, after about 2 years, decided that she wants to change her name within the framework of the Certificate of Marriage, then she has the right to do so. She would fill out the I-751 in her current name, which is the name she wishes to use from now on. RoC is a great time to do that, naturalization even a better one. But there's nothing to explain or to justify. It's her right.

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.
