Q: Greencard renewal
I filed I-90 to renew my greencard. I went for my biometrics at the local uscis office last year. They notices I wrote my legal name differently (missing the married name) ie. Jane Ford instead of the legal Jane Ford Gordon. I explained to the officer there that I have made an error. I thought he said he would correct it for me.
Months later, a letter came to ask for more evidence of a name change. I submitted my divorce decree showing that I didn’t ask for name change.
2 weeks later I received another letter asking for evidence since my divorce decree doesn’t show a name change.
The thing is, I didn’t have a name change.
What should I do?
1) go get a name change (it’s going to take awhile for the court to process)
2) Re-submit the same evidence (divorce decree- I submitted via online as it’s the prefer form of communication)
3)Is there a form to correct the error?
Thank you very much for your help.
A:
You can submit an amended FORM I -90 and submit the divorce decree indicating your legal name.
Good luck to you.
