Okay, Dilemma. (or not…)
Should I send back my green card, with the thing that explains my name is wring etc…. but continue to wait for things like social security number, drivers license, bank account and potentially having to pay unknown moneys if they detremine the mistake my fault…
Or should I just put up with having the US government know me by the stupid backwards non hyphenated double surnamed Sarah Barnes Moulder? It’ll only be till we go back to oz… whenever that may be. Then the Moulder part shall leave.
I don’t know…. it’s easier to leave it as it is, but I hate it. And this all happened because on the first green card form after marriage, for my name I put Sarah Barnes (Moulder) because I didn’t know if they would accept me changing my name in the middle of the visa process… and doesn’t the brackets imply maiden name? That’s what I’ve been lead to believe.
See why I have been putting this off for months?
So that ^^^^ was written last night… on my phone, coz my brain wouldn’t shut the hell up about anything so writing helps. Until my wrist aches.
I find out this morning that I am in fact stuck with my name as it is, because of my procrastination. I got the letter on April 3 (apparently… I should’ve checked when I really did get it) and it wanted the ‘evidence’ within 90 days. So I guess I am Barnes Moulder.
Should get moving on getting those other things. Would be useful to be able to bank without having to ask Lisa to do so for us.
At least a decision was made… I guess that’s good.
