going back to my country after getting LPR card

[daphne2109 0]

Hi all,

I know that it has been already asked the question that I'm gonna ask, and before writing I browsed in here, but I couldn't find any message related to what I want to get confirmed.

I would like to get confirmed if when you go back to yr country with the LPR card, you also take , obviously , your passport from yr country and a photocopy of the marriage certificate, and that's it, right?

If you are a female, the fly ticket must be with the name on according to the passport name although once married you have changed you last name into your husband's last name, right?

Since I kept my maiden last name as middle name and then my new last name is as per my husband's last name, my fly ticket should be in my maiden name as per my passport?

Thanks to all of you guys for yr help!!!!!!

It is highly recommended that your ticket be issued in the same name as the passport. You only need to show your Green Card when coming back, and here in the US, the immigration personnel is used to seeing passports in the maiden name and green cards in your married name. I've read here that some countries make a hassle when people are trying to come back, I dont know if it's out of lack of knowledge or what.

You will need to show your GC when leaving your home country, as proof that you can legally enter the US (as if you were showing your visa in your passport). Take your marriage certificate in case anyone wants to see proof of your name change.

Good luck...

PS: When leaving Spain, I was required of another document in my married name (I used my Driver's license), and another one in my maiden name (I used the Venezuelan National ID Card). That was besides the marriage certificate. But I've travelled to Italy several times, and they are ok with just the GC.
