Filed I-90 to replace Green card but changed my name in the meantime

[mark90 22]

Hello,

 

I filed I-90 form in Jan 2023 to replace my 10 year GC that was lost in the mail by USPS after form I-751 was approved. In the meantime, court approved my legal name change. At this point, I'd like to update my documents (driving license, SSN, bank account) and inform USCIS about the name change, but I am not sure what to do. I could either:

 

• Go ahead and update my documents without informing USCIS. I'm afraid this would jeopardize the pending I-90 case.
• Update my documents and send an unsolicited evidence to USCIS through my account to inform them about the name change and hopefully they'll update the name.
• Do nothing and wait an indefinite amount of time for my case to get approved

 

Every time I speak with somebody at the phone they are not helpful  Thanks for any advice.

You can have all your documents in your new name (DL, SSN. and banks and credit cards) and still have your green card in your old name. Just dont update your passport, will be tough to travel back to the homeland. We kept all the immigration and passport in my wifes maiden name while changing ssn, bank accounts DL to her new name. When she appliwd for citizenship she changed it all over to married name and got her new passport in her new name. Not necessary to change your name with USCIS.
