Legal Question in Immigration Law in District of Columbia
Remarried while waiting for removal of condition
I have a question regarding my green card. My ex-wife and I filed for removal of condition together - though shortly after filing we separated. Now according to the processing times on the uscis website - it should be our turn soon. But we did get divorced in the meantime and I've also remarried recently to another US citizen. We are all on good terms my ex knows my recent wife, too. So here is my question, I know that in the best case scenario i'll be granted the permanent gc - but I did add my ex's name to mine which I changed back by the divorce - MY GREEN CARD STILL HAS IT THOUGH. Since my recent wife insisted I had to add her name when we got married, too. How do I change my name to my new one on my green card? Esp. if i want to travel abroad it would give some confusion... I have my birth name in my passport and my new (birth+recent wife's) name on my ID and on my green card my birth + ex's.... AND in the worst case scenario we will be called in for an interview before getting the permanent gc. So what is to do at that case? I know my ex wife wouldn't mind coming with me or is there a chance to adjust my status through my new marriage? Or do i simply have to start everything with my new marriage from the very beginning?

Re: Remarried while waiting for removal of condition
Your mistake was being in such a big rush to dissolve your first marriage and not waiting until your conditions were removed before plunging ahead into your second one which may only give further suspicion to USCIS officers regarding the legitimacy of your marital motives.
You're in a mess (in my opinion)with the multiple marriages and all of the name changes and additions and inconsistencies with what's on your application for lawful permanent residency, but it's clearly one of your own making.
Under these circumstances, I would not be surprised if your application was denied.
