If I change my name with SS now, will I run into problems when using my greencard (when it comes) because it will have a different name?

HI all! Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I applied to remove conditions on my green card in November 2022. Since then, my divorce has been completed and I want to go back to using my maiden name. I wrote a cover letter when I applied to remove conditions stating that my divorce was pending and I'm expecting a RFE for that. I haven't officially started the process of changing my name back to my maiden name (with social security etc) because I didn't know if it would complicate my green card application, as the names will be different. My question is.. when can I contact social security to change my name back to my maiden name and how will this affect my pending ROC. Any help is appreciated. Please be kind.. I am not knowledgeable in this area and have never been divorced before.

Hi all! (I really hope I have written this in the right forum, if not, I apologize) I entered the US on a K1 visa in 2019, got married and later received my 2 year conditional green card (from 2020-expires dec 2022). It is coming up to the 90 day window to apply for removal of conditions on my green card. (It expires in December 2022 and I want to send off my documents as soon as I can in September.) However, my US citizen spouse has decided that he would like to separate. This happened last week and is still very fresh. It has been very amicable between us and he wants me to continue living in the US as we share pets and are also generally good friends. He is happy to sign any documents I need for me to stay. I have already gathered the majority of the documents needed for submission including: joint health insurance, co-signing on car lease, joint bank account, same home address, affidavit from people that know us and photographs of our relationship. I think we have enough evidence to show that we entered the marriage in good faith. At this time, we do not plan on getting divorced and would like to spend time away from each other for space. I will be moving to Arizona and he will stay in New York. My question is, how do I indicate that we are separated but with no intention at this time of divorce. I have written a statement explaining the situation but unsure if this is enough. Our finances will remain mixed but we will be living apart. My questions are: - If I apply for ROC and then get a biometrics appointment, can I reschedule and take it in an AZ location? - Would it go against me if I indicate that I am moving out of state during this time? - I know there is no option for 'separated' on the form, but what else can I provide to USCIS to support my application while still being honest? I have read about requesting a divorce waiver but like I said, we have not considered getting divorced at this time and may work things out in the future. I am moving to Arizona as I have friends there as I cannot afford to live alone in NY. This is a completely unexpected situation for me so please be kind and I appreciate any advice. Thank you so much.
