Regarding legal name change after greencard

[taknev 10]

Hello everyone, I am an Indian citizen who recently got married and got my marriage-based conditional greencard.  I have a long first name (with space) and a long last name which causes problems when my employer runs an everify check. It's really embarrasing to repeat myself twice whenever someone asks for my name. Hence, I have decided to change my name through the county court. Here are a few questions regarding name change after GC:

1) Will the i90 extension letter have my new legal name?
2) If yes, can I use the extension letter along with the court docs to change my name on my SSN and DL? Will it verify through SAVE?
3) Also, will this cause any issues during removal of conditions?

Please let me know! Thanks!

The least painful process for you to change the name is during N-400 application when you apply for naturalization.

 

I-90 takes a long time nowadays, and you may not get your conditional Green Card replaced before you need to file I-751.

 

Also, think about your Indian passport. You are required to change your name on it. How easy would that be?

 

Summary: I'd suggest waiting until you file N-400. You'll become a US citizen with new name and will lose your Indian citizenship at the same time, so wouldn't have to worry about renewing your Indian passport.

Thanks! I will just wait until N400!

I second this. If u haven’t done it yet, just wait until n-400. More cost effective
