I couple months ago I got my Green Card and my Work Authorization card.

Other than those two cards, everything else I have (US Drivers License, Social Security Card, Marriage Certificate) is in my new married name.

My question is where do I go to change my Green Card and Work Authorization card to my married name?

Thanks for your help.

You know what really sucks. I looked over my I-485 and there is no place for me to put my married name. In every section it asks for my "Family" name.

I just want to know why I couldn't get my Green Card in my married name the first time around? Rather than waste a ton of money to change things, I guess I will have to wait 2 years until I go to get my 10 year Green Card.

What would have been the procedure for getting my Green Card with my married name on it the first time around?

Boy do I feel stupid. I was under the impression they wanted my old family name. I see your point load and clear.
