All,
Your advice and help in the matter will be greatly appreciated.
We received our GC's recently.
For my Spouse due to customs and tradition at time of marriage we had her first name changed besides last name. We subsequently got a passport in the new name as well. We also had adds in the newspaper, affidavits of name change, also a marriage certificate from the Indian consulate with her new name being married to me. DL, SSN and all other relevant documents for my spouse are in the new name.
However USCIS still ignored all those evidences and issued the green card in her old first name and new last name!!! an identity that doesn't exist.
Yes I know about I 90 and we are getting a official court document from our local city in about a months time, following which we will file I 90 to issue GC in the correct name.
Now, we had planned to go out of the country on may 1st -5th, 2008 on a trip to europe and our home country. This may not be enough time for getting the I 90 approved and new GC corrected.
So my question to you experts is what can we do in this situation?
Also for the period the GC is in this current name combination (old first name and new last name), will there be any status issues?
We haven't confirmed any bookings just reservations, will a reservation be enough to get our passport stamped? if so, how long do they stamp it for. I read on some forums it was only for 30 days or less.
Once again appreciate your advice in the matter.
