- I entered US in 2000 on F-1 visa.
- Got married in 2001 and filed for GC along with husband(ex)
- Got divorced in 2003. Ex-husband tried to cancel my GC petition as soon as he filed for divorce, but looks like it was already approved and I got my GC even before divorced was finalized by court.
- The last name on my passport is my original lastname from before marriage and that is what I used everywhere (SSN, work, banks etc etc).
- The lastname on my GC is from my ex-husband's last name. I never changed name legally after marriage but I guess the change on GC happened because of how GC application was filed by my ex-husband.
- I have entered US several times since then on GC & passport with this name difference and was never an issue at Port of Entry.
Now after 5 yrs of getting GC, I want to file for N-400. What should I do about this name problem?
Any advise?
