I have a 10 year green card and have lived in the US for 6 years. I was divorced earlier this year based on one year of separation in NC, I retained my maiden name and all my documentation is in my maiden name. I just got married a week ago and when I went to the SS office to apply for a name change on my SSN card she said it might not go through because I had to tell INS first. Do I need to report my marriage to INS and can I do so without getting a name change green card?

I'm going to England in Dec and don't want to change all my travel documentation prior to the trip, from what I understand I can use my GC with the maiden name, and my passport and carry a copy of my marriage certificate. It turned out my SS card went through smoothly so I can do to the DMV and get my license.

I hope this makes sense. I am tired from work! =) I know this could go in the travel forum too but it is more to do with my marital status and reporting it. =)

not necessarily marital status but name change needs be reported

YMMV
