I have received my green card in April. It`s a complicated story, but I did not tell my parents about it. They still don`t know.
I few weeks ago I told my brother that I was thinking about coming to visit for a couple of weeks, so he is the only one that knows and he will be picking me up at the airport. It`s going to be a huuuuuge surprise for my mom and dad
I can not wait!! ![]()
I already booked my ticket with my maiden name since that`s the name that appears on my passport.
BUT on my green card it`s my married name. I`m a bit worried about how am I going to get back to the US, since the names on the passport and GC don`t match.
Does anyone have experience with this? Please tell me I don`t need to re-book my ticket
Re: Question about air tickets with green card
Sorry but I don't get why they don't know you have a Green Card. Surely they know you live in the US so what is the big deal?
Do they know you are married?

I was planning to bring the marriage certificate, but it`s good to hear that other people have done this before and it was fine.
I didn`t mean to make it sound like my parents are anti-green card
Of course they know that we are married and they know that we had the GC interview, I just decided not to tell them that we received it, so that I can surprise them when I suddenly show up at home
Awesome! Have fun. :-)

Name on my passport: maiden
Name on my SS card:maiden
Name on my Green Card: married name
I never had a problem. Honestly, they have all that info in the system. You got your Green card through marriage so they know your married name. Seriously, nothing to worry about.
Oh and I never changed my passport to my married name because it's just a name I am using. You'll ALWAYS be Firstname MaidenName. Now that I am getting divorced, I'm glad I never changed it.
