Hi i came here 2010 got married and i got divorced 2015 and i havent notified USCIS for my change of address.

Where should i start?

Should i need to make changes on my name first from married to maiden name?

My greencard is good until 2023 i was thinking of applying for citizenship around 2020. 

What should i do first?

Thank you all for your help in advance

If you currently don't have any petition ongoing with USCIS, you don't need to change your address with them.

 

Generally, you can change the address for an ongoing petition here: https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/displayCOAForm.do

 

Once you file for your citizenship, you automatically inform USCIS of your current address anyways.

 

If you want to change your name on your green card, you should file I-90 however you're already eligible for citizenship if you're a green card holder since 2010. During the citizenship process you get the opportunity to change your name legally so honestly I would do that. :)

If you choose to use your maiden name you can already make the changes with your divorce certificate. Drivers license, SSN card, employment. I don't know about foreign passport because that's where I gave up :D I made a name change during naturalization so I got my US passport and certificate of naturalization in my new name right away. 

 

Now that I think about it, you can apply for citizenship with your maiden name. Just know that the officer will want to see your divorce certificate at the interview.
