OK; long story bear with me.

 

I applied for my GC via Marriage. At the interview, our agent suggested putting my married name (lets say last name is B) on the card. Which I agreed too, as I aiming to commence the process with my consulate to change my passport to my married name anyways, which has been a complete BUST!

 

I receive my GC. My first name, last name (married name), and country is WRONG. Like completely wrong.

 

I then file an i90 and hand my Greencard back in. 

 

I also then obtain my first 551 (stamp in my passport, which is my maiden name). 

 

A year goes by.... no I90, but I need to travel internationally. I apply ONLINE for a replacement 551. It arrives in my married name. 

 

Another year goes by.... no I90. But the time comes to remove my conditions, which I apply for. 

 

In the mail, I receive a Notice of Action 797 in my maiden name, which extends my 551 for 48 months and allows me to travel and work.

 

So now.... I have a Passport with my maiden name. A 551 (expired) with my married name. and a 797 notice with my maiden name. 

 

I travel to Colombia. thankfully, they allow me to travel back to the States, but I get held aside Stateside. Obviously the issue is the ONE document (expired 551) in my married name. It obviously confuses Airport USCIS. 


They told me to file a form to have the 551 transferred back into my maiden name and a form to change my GC in process back to my maiden name.

 

But for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the document. Can someone help?

That extension letter is useless if it has invalid name or doesn't match name on GC. 

 

I think you should keep getting I-551 stamps in passport while I-751 is pending. Hopefully, 10 year GC will come with the right name and country. 

 

What name did you put in your I-751? I hope married name?

 

You're lucky you were able to board the plane to the US. Do not travel internationally without valid I-551 stamp in valid passport.

 

 

You should not attempt any more I-90 as your case is messy already. Also they won't issue an expired 2 year GC as replacement.

 

Just make sure I-751 has valid information.

In which name did you fill out the I-751?
