More details to this question:
Hi.my name is X. My name was wrong in my country passport and I have corrected in USA. I applied for permanent residence(I751). I have visited immigration office two times and they told me to fill form as my new passport. I filled form as officer told me and I received letters from immigration office with my correct name. I want to travel to other country in January but I didn't received my new green card. My question is it will be ok to travel other country(immigration office send me a letter,with that you can travel) or I will wait for my new green card? Thank you.
Your concern appears to be that while your passport and letters from the immigration office have the correct name, the old name is on your present green card. If there are only one or two letters which are wrong in the name, you would probably have no problem in reentering the country with the passport and other documentation. If the name is significantly different, you may wish to wait until you receive your new green card to travel in and out of the country.
