Hey all! 2 years flew by!

I'm preparing to file my 751, as my green card expires in September.

One mistake I did with my applications 2 years ago was somehow not ensuring I wanted my husband's name as my last name.

The IO stated that next application, I could fix it.

So how do I do this? Do I put preffered name as my married name? Will my new documentation have my married name then?

Everything is all screwed up! My SSN is my married name, but immigration documents and dmv records are all in my maiden name because of my immigration documents!

Sooo frustrating! Any help is greatly appreciated!

03/13/2011: Got married! <3
06/06/2011: Mailed packet included I-130, I-485, and I-765.
09/16/2011: Green Card Received!

-----------

07/27/2013: I-751 packet sent.

11/19/2013: Approved! Card Production.

------------

2/2015: Naturalization

You fill the form out in the name you want on the GC. You put your maiden name in the space of other names used. I would also include a copy of the Marriage Certificate even though they should already have one in your file to help them understand the whole name issue.

Good luck,

Dave
