Green Card with different name than Social Security Card

[greentrees 0]

My wife received her green card. She already had a social security card since she was 10. She went to the Social Security office to change her status (since she now has a green card). She showed her green card to the Social Security person and she said the names do not match. She said my wife would have to go to court and have her name changed.

The green card has the name formatted as name1 name2 last name.

name1 is her US first name

name2 is her foreign first name

This is the same as the US format of first name, middle name, last name.

Her social security card is formatted as name2 name1 last name

Is there an easier way to correct this, rather than going to court?

I read that my wife might be able to go to a CBP location (like an international airport) and get the information corrected. Is that correct?
