My son and I are green card holders. This summer we traveled to my home country, and I decided to change my name and my sons name. I changed my name and they automatically changed my sons name and they gave me and my son new passports with the new names. Now I am facing some issues. First issue: How my son and I are gonna enter the U.S. since our names changed? Or do we have to keep our old passports to enter the US, and then change our names on our green cards once we are in the U.S.? Second issue: Do we have to change our names again in court in the U.S. for the I-90? I just need an advise how to do this name change without facing any problems?

You can take the GC, the old passport, your new passport, and proof of name change (is there any paperwork for this?) to get back in the US. Then you can legally change your name with the courts in the US.
