    Default Applying for Naturalization with Green Card Error

    Hi, I am a U.S. resident, have been since 1999, my greencard has my last name mispelled, and getting it fixed is expensive as I wouldn't know how to prove it was the fault of the Immigration Department. I want to apply for Naturalization and I wanted to know if I need to fix the error on my greencard first, or if applying for Naturalization will help me fix it, thanks.

    It's generally easier and cheaper to get it changed as part of your Naturalization petition.

    Thanks, that was what I was thinking of doing, but some people have told me that might be problematic so I wasn't sure.

    It shouldn't be problematic - in fact, IIRC there's actually a form you can submit precisely for that reason as part of the naturalization package
