Hi everybody,

my wife is a green card holder, she came in on a k-1 visa, we got married in the states and adjusted status to green card.   she is still on her 2 year green card, expires this coming October.  we just changed her name this past November.  also moved to a new address.   my question is, do we need to update her green card now, or can we wait until it expires and we are applying for another one, later this year?   is there a fee for filing for a new one with a change of name?  i don't want to have to pay two large fees this year if only one is necessary later when it expires.  thanks for all your help guys!

Right now, submit an AR-11 with the address change to the USCIS.

 

When you'll apply for RoC some time this summer, fill out the form in her current legal name, resulting in her unconditional Green Card to be issued in that name accordingly.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
