Can I change my name during divorce?
Hi, I got my green card last year for 10 years through VAWA. I want to change my name back to my maiden name. My name right now is FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, MARRIED NAME. I want to change it back to my FIRST NAME, LAST NAME while filing for divorce. My country passport right now only has my maiden name on it and I haven’t had any issues.
Now, my question is, if I change back to my maiden name during this divorce, will my green card still be valid and at naturalization, I just apply with my married name and click on name change on there too? or will I have to file a I-90 and get a replacement green card with the maiden name on it? basically can I just carry on using my green card with my married name until I apply for citizenship in 3 years?
Hi , I hope everyone doing well God bless everyone , just want to know how much more time it will take to get decision on I-131 I really need to travel next year on May due to urgent things . Thanks

Hello
My spouse (USC) and I were married for almost 3.5 years I have a conditional GC for over 2 years we filed joint I-751.
Now we’re divorced after we filled jointly I-751 in this September. I will send an amendment letter to uscis this week.
What are the chances that my GC application still gonna get approved?

Timeline after I-485 Interview – F2A Category?
I had my I-485 interview on November 19, 2025 under the F2A category (spouse of a permanent resident). The interview went well, and the officer did not request any additional documents.
My case status now shows:
“Case Is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS.”
As of November 19, 2025, USCIS is reviewing my Form I-485, and there are no outstanding items at this time.
Does anyone know how long it typically takes to receive a decision?
