As far as I know, you can change your name to whatever name you want so using your ex husband's name isn't a problem. Nobody has a proprietary rights over a name so long as you don't misrepresent yourself (like telling people you are still related to your ex and his family).

The tricky part is, you have already misrepresented yourself and committed bigamy ( what happened to that case? were you charged?)

You have a whole of mess.. and instead of resolving them, you keep burying your head in the sand.These won't going if you don't take care of it.

I doubt this will be grounds for deportation but you would have a problem during naturalization (being law abiding is part of your obligation and you haven't done so).

Get a lawyer and take care of this mess.. because i can bet on your getting denied citizenship with this mess if you do it by yourself.

I think your main issue now is what did you indicate on your document when you apply for your 10 years Green Card? Did you put the marriage status under your first husband or second husband? That's the main issue and key if you are in the risk of renewing your GC.

Hi,

I am a newbie and I am not sure where to post this. I'm an Asian and divorced. I have been in the States for almost 20 years. I came over on a spousal visa. My (USC) petitioner was a military. He and I were only together for more than a year after I arrived. We agreed to divorce after he caught me cheating on him. He initiated the divorce and while it was on process, I disappeared, worked as an "escort" until I decided to quit and settle down with one of my "clients". When we met, I told him I was "divorced" when in fact I wasn't. We decided to get "married", had a child but later on we split after he found out that I was not actually divorced, and that I would still have communication with my first husband. My second "marriage" was null-and-void 12 years ago and I was called a bigamist and all kinds of names. In the decree, It clearly states that my name was "reversed back to my original name", which was the petitioner's last name but I never followed the order. My GC is on my second marriage's name and I am still using the guy's last name until now. I was asked to change it in all my identifications and docs, and was demanded to stop using it by him and his family but I never did for I am afraid that if I do so, I somehow will get in trouble with immigration. I was told before that I cannot renew my Green Card due to the fact that I was never divorced from my petitioner and yet I am using a different last name. That this would trigger a red flag on my part. Is that true??? I've also never applied for citizenship for the same reason. All that to say, will I get deported? If so, how, when and why? Or can I just go back to my original married name without facing any problem? If I renew my GC and/or decide to apply for naturalization, which name should I go with? Lastly, what is going to happen if my Green Card expires? My petitioner's last name is Murphy but I am using Smith and my maiden name is Soche. I am lost. Please advise.

Thanks!
