Name on green card does not match name in uscis system

[gsxed 0]

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what to do.

My wife got her ss card in May with her married name. She then got her green card in September and it has her married name on it as well. We went to the ss office last week to get an updated ss card, for work authorization, and the lady working says the uscis is showing my wife in their system with her maiden name, yet the green card is in her married name. She can not give her a ss card until that is cleared up and matching. She took a copy of my wifes green card and said she will send it to the uscis and ask them to fix it. I said that's fine. How will I know when its fixed. She said she doesn't know, but this is a common problem. I just need to wait for a new ss card in the mail.

My question, is there anything I can do to make sure its being fixed? We are planning an international trip soon and I don't want to have problems when we come back. Thank you.

Some people on here have had success with making an infopass appointment.

Hi. I have exact the same problem. Were you guys able to fix it? Would you mind telling me what you did to correct it?

Thank you.

You have to update it with the immigration or USCIS. Call

You being in the marriage cert for proof of name change. Also, what her SSN card says has nothing to do with an international trip. You'll be fine.

The only concern is that your Wifes Green card has a different name on it than that which is on File with the USCIS Database. Raising a Red Flag at Point of Entry after Trip.

You should sort this out with the USCIS before you leave. Infopass or call as previously suggested.

Enjoy your trip
