HI i have my AOS interview on the 13th Feb and just wanted to find out exactly what the green card is. Is it something that is stamped in to your passport or is it a plastic card you can carry around in your wallet.

Reason i ask is i'm 9 months pregnant - baby due in a few weeks and i want to go back to the UK to visit around June time. My daughter will have a US & UK passport but her surname will be different than mine. Which might cause problems getting in and out of the country.

My passport is stil in my maiden name and I'm worried that if i send my passport off to the UK Embassy to change names on it they will keep the old passport and send me a new one with nothing in it and then i've lost my green card (if its stamped in your passport)

Any other Brits out there that have changed their name on their passports that can shed some light for me.

Kate,

Best wishes on the baby!

The green card is a card ... looks like an ID, just like the EAD but fancier. So, you won't have to worry about your new passport being "empty". I believe they will also return your old passport to you so that you will still have an old record of your previous trips.

YOu should not have any problem, just for safety safe or if concern i would carry a copy of the marriage certificate, leaving the US is no biggie coming back sometimes you get a snag at the poe, but with your green card on hand you are fine to go! once they enter your name on the computer with the Green card all the info will show up.

Gone but not Forgotten!

When you get a new passport they usually cut the corner of the old one and stamp every page 'expired' or 'invalid' but then they give it back to you because it's a record of when and where you travelled and it has your visa etc in it. The green 'card' is a little white card like the EAD only with some hologram stuff on the back and it goes in your purse.
