Nice to meet you !

I am married to an American and hold a GC. When we got married, I took my husband's surname in the Japanese family register. In the U.S., I kept my maiden name and switched my GC to 10 years, which I recently received after 3 years.
I recently renewed my passport with my new surname and my maiden name in brackets, but I am panicking ? that it is a problem that my passport and GC have different surnames.
Would this be a problem ?
I thought I would keep my maiden name in the US, but should I not do that ? ??

In my case, it is a bit opposite.

・ Japanese family register → I have a marriage notation but chose to keep my maiden name → I thought my husband's name would be written in katakana
・ Passport → maiden name + ( husband's name ) + Name and Name and
・ Green Card → Surname

I have been to Japan many times with this. I have been to Japan many times with this.

It was a long time ago. 
When I did web check in to Japan, I could not do web check in because the name on the passport and the name on the ticket did not match.

Then, after going to the airport, I asked ? how to avoid the error next time, and was told that I could issue a ticket with the name in parentheses, but then the name on my frequent flyer card would be changed and my existing mileage would be lost. In the end, I am still having my ticket issued with only my husband's name.

But now that I think about it. ?
But now I think... But the exact reason why it stopped giving me errors ? ? is because I always use the same place. 

But still, isn't it slow to get the GC ?
Does your husband also have your surname ? or is it different ? ( that's why it took so long ? I guess it doesn't matter ? )

Nice to meet you. In my case, it is the opposite of the Lord's. I have kept my maiden name in Japan and changed it to my husband's last name in the U.S.
The last name on my passport and green card are different, but I buy airline tickets every time with the name on my passport and have no problems.
By the way, in the past I have never been pointed out that my name is different with regard to airline tickets, but
the other day I tried to switch to a driver's license with ID at the DMV and was unable to create it because my name was different.
( If it is a regular driver's license, there seems to be no problem ) I hope this helps.
