How to fill out form I-90 for name change?

Hi,

I changed my name legally in the court, and I'm filing out e-form I-90 online to change my name on my Green Card.

1. In the name field, do I fill my new or old name?

2. At the end of the e-file form, it's written the following "I intend to mail supporting documentation for this application", do I check the box next to this sentence or not?

3. On the form there is a field that asks to fill in the “USCIS Office where status was adjusted”. I know that the Green Card was mailed to me from the National Benefits Center, on the other hand, I initially filed for my Green Card (I-485) in the Garden City office, NY. Do I fill in the National Benefits Center or the Garden City Office?

4. Do I need to mail the court order to the USCIS, or I will take it with me to the Biometrics appointment?

I would really appreciate your response.
Thanks
 
Did you figure out the answers

Hello,

I am in the exact same situation as yours, and wanted to ask you how you went about your name change process.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Yes, I was able to find answers for most of my questions online.
However, after I filed the I-90 application online, I received an e-mail that my I-90 application has been approved and a card would be mailed to me, but I haven't received the Green Card with the new name yet.
I can tell you that the receipt that I received from the USCIS shows my new name. I hope that the Green Card will show my new name.
I can answer any question you have, based on what I did to change my name on the Green Card, but I don't grantee that this is the right process until I receive my Card showing my new name.

Here are answers for the questions I have posted.

1) you will need to fill your new name on the I-90 form
2) since you will take your supporting documentation (court order, marriage certificate... etc.), you do not need to check the box next to the sentence "I intend to mail supporting documentation for this application".
After you file your I-90 online, you will receive a receipt and an appointment notice to capture your fingerprints (biometrics).
3) “USCIS Office where status was adjusted” is "Garden City"
4) you do not need to mail the court order, you will take it with you to the biometrics appointment.

Any other questions, feel free to ask
Good Luck
 
Biometrics a second time?

Thank you very much for your detailed reply - I really appreciate it!

I have just one more clarification that I would like to ask. Did you end up having to get your biometrics done a second time?

I was fingerprinted last year as part of the green card process, and I don't know whether there is really a need for biometrics. (Unless the USCIS insists, in which case there is really no choice.)

Thanks again for your help!
 
Generally, biometrics are valid for 15 months. If your biometrics are older than 15 months and your case is still pending, then they require to recapture your biometrics again.
HOWEVER, in my case, my biometrics were captured on 10/2008, which was before my Green Card was approved and they were still valid when I filed the I-90.
When I filed the I-90 i was sure that they are not going to capture my biometrics again, because it has not passed more than 15 months. But, they did take my biometrics again last month (two weeks after I filed the I-90).
They will not ask you whether your biometrics need to be taken, they just do it even though your biometrics still valid.
And the funny thing that they charge $280 for Filing fee and $80 for Biometrics fee. Total of $370.
They just want the money and they don't care if your biometrics are still valid.
