Ticket Name

New Member
My Korean passport says: First Name (with space between syllables to show where the korean characters start and end), Maiden Last Name (W/O Married Last Name)

My Green Card says: FirstName (No spaces between syllables), Middle Initial (First initial of maiden name because middle name is my old maiden name), Married Last Name

1) What name do I use on the airline ticket? Can I use the Green Card version of the name (married name)?

2) Will I have problems with re-entry to the U.S. after a brief trip to Europe because of the name differences between the ticket/passport/green card?

Thanks for your help...
 
Clarification of Question:

To clarify the question above, here is an example: If my maiden name was GyuSuk Lee and my Married name was GyuSuk Lee Jones...

Korean Passport: Gyu Suk Lee (W/O Jones)
U.S. Green Card: GyuSuk L. Jones

(note that "W/O" stands for "Wife Of" on Korean passports and when the passport scans it should show both last names without the W/O: Lee Jones)

Will I have any problems if my airline ticket is for "GyuSuk Lee Jones"?

Thanks...

I don't think you'll have problems with reentry whichever spelling you use for the ticket.

I also have a slight difference in how my name is spelled in my Green Card and in my Russian passport.
I use the GC spelling for purchasing air tickets and never had a problem regarding this issue when re-entering the U.S. I travel abroad about 2-3 times a year and the last time was this summer. As I said, I never had any problems regarding this.
The reason I use the GC spelling is that that is, in a sense, my legal name in the U.S.: I have it on all my credit cards, drivers' licence, social security card etc.
