Change of Name

Hi,

my wife and I obtained our GC about 2.5 yrs ago and have been married for the last 9 yrs. We never changed her maiden name from all the documents and even her GC is with the same. Now we have had a baby and I have been led to believe that there could be potential travel problems if the baby's last name (which is mine) and mothers last name do not match.

My questions are:

1. Does it matter if the last names are different?
2. What would be the process of changing her last name? (I am assuming I just need to fill the I90 form for this)
3. Her PP is up for renewal as well so could I have to submit the paperwork for GC change and then PP or can I both simultaneously?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

------------NO

------------I-90 and documents needed for name change. read the instruction on form I-90
3. Her PP is up for renewal as well so could I have to submit the paperwork for GC change and then PP or can I both simultaneously?
-----------first get name changed passport and then apply for I-90 for name change on GC.

*** she may have to change her name on DL, SSN card, credit cards and on credit history
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Make sure to correct the name in SSN after changing the name in PP & GC.
And also don't forget DL name change...

Good luck
