Hello all,

If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry; it's been awhile ;)

Today I received my green card (Yay!) and it has my married name on it. I did not specifically ask for my married name to be on it, not that it matters to me personally; I was just surprised to see it on there.
But anyway, since my GC has my married name unexpectedly, I think i might have an unforeseen problem.
My EAD card which I received about a month ago, has my maiden name on it. Since the Hubby and me filled the original package with my maiden name, because we had no idea if it was allowed to do so with my married name already.
Either way, now my GC and EAD's last names do not match.

Is this an issue/problem, or should I not worry about it?

Any advise would be welcome! Thanks in advance. :)

The GC makes the EAD card obsolete. No worries at all. You won't have any use for the EAD anymore. :)
