Name correction on green card

[Seven 24]

Hello everyone!

 

I hope you are all well. I have an Spanish passport with a compound first name (two words) and a compound last name (two words, no hyphen). My green card has my first name split as First and Middle and my husband's last name as last name. I want to put my name back to my birth name/passport name in my green card, both, my first and last name. I have not divorced. I just want my name and heritage back. I have to renew my 10 years green card again soon. Is this something that can be done during the application, or will it be rejected? USCIS representatives refuse to give me any information about it.

 

Thank you in advance

Are you planning naturalizing? You can definitely change your last name to your maiden name then for sure.

You will need a legal name change document.  If you are not divorcing or naturalizing, file a name change petition with the state court that has jurisdiction over your residential area.  Once you get the name change court order, you may submit it along with your I-90.
