Thank you so much! This is why I love this forum.

The N400 asks if I would like to change my name legally, should I or is it a waste of extra processing time (along with other possible complications) ? My spouse and I did a cover letter with our I-751 where we asked USCIS to call me by my married name. They complied and all notices sent to us were in my married name after that. I have actually changed my name to my married name in my country and have a new passport with that married name. My 2 year conditional green card and ssn is in my maiden name though. Would it be better to just do the legal name change with the N400? Seems like there is a wealth of conflicting information about this online, The amount of conflicting information has left me confused. Thanks for any answers and advice.

Oh I already have the ADIT stamp (but not in my passport) and just came back from Europe some weeks ago with no issues. It expires march 2025 so I'll definitely just contact USCIS for a new one then. Thank you so much for your reply, it is very reassuring, these fees are so high already and I'm not keen on filing the I-90, I mean I'll do it if I HAVE to. I'll keep your answer in mind but will send a message and/or call USCIS as well. Our case has been pretty straightforward and I'm not looking to get an RFE for the N400.

Can I avoid filing the I-90? I lost my green card while traveling, before we filed ROC. We filed the card as lost with police and attached a copy of it with our 751. 751 pending and I am now eligible to file n400. If I only include the police report, will I get an RFE for the I-90? I'm fully ready to file the I-90, however I'm just feeling bummed out that it's gonna be an extra 500 bucks. I know it's my fault so please withhold any judgement. I have already sorrowfully grieved the loss of my green card.
