Reverting back to maiden name

[Arsalan111 28]

Does anyone have any information how to revert back to maiden name while still married? There are no problems in marriage but the new married name is causing a lot of confusions(educational documentation, traveling). My AOS is still pending, I-485 is under process and case is at NBC.

What name is your SSN in?

 

What name is your passport in?

I don’t have SSN, my foreign passport is in my maiden name.

@Arsalan111 did you use your maiden name or married name on I-485?

Because your I-485 interview might be waived you should write a letter to the uscis service center , noting your  case number and name and request that your name be changed to your original name. 
 

Include a copy of:

 

- I-485 receipt 

- birth certificate 

- passport biographic and signature page 

 

This is not guaranteed to work.

Last time I contacted them they told me my interview is waived.

Tier 1 officer most likely and tier 1 officers know less than a bucket of rocks.

If your name was legally changed when you married, you will most likely need to change your name through the courts in the county you reside in.

When I got the marriage license it had my maiden name on it. Everything has maiden name in it except the form I-485 which has last name as married one. So confused what to do, and how to do it.

He also mentioned at what date it was waived. Happened in July. Strange

If that was the case, you’d have the green card.

Interview ‘waived’ in July, and you still don’t have GC?   Makes no sense.

So you’re implying that USCIS officer was making things up? Do you have insights of USCIS? If that’s the case please enlighten all of us here.

They're only humans. They can be mistaken, misinformed, too busy or not bothered to help you. It's unusual to have interview waived but no approval or green card produced. Meaning, it's not certain your interview was waived.

I won't speculate why Tier 1 officers misinform more than inform, but the data shows that they do.

None of us here know how USCIS works and I am not worried about my GC. But the users reply was negative. It’s demoralizing.
