So here I finally am in Raleigh NC with my man! Very happy and relieved and totally in love with everything I see around.

The only pain is that it looks like I'm stuck with the incorrect spelling of my name those dorks at Moscow UVD have put in my international passport. Name on the K-1 visa had to match the passport; name on the I-94 had to match visa; name on Social Security has to match I-94, drivers license has to match SSN and so on, and so forth. At some point there must be an opportunity to change it back to a more palatable version!

Please advise.

Tried so far: Customs and Border Protection office; they say they can do nothing and if I go to Infopass appointment with USCIS, they'll most likely send me back to CBP.

Form I-102 (correction of I-94) won't work as the immigration card matches my passport.

Where do I run now, before all my documents are made with incorrect spelling? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Your SSN can match your married name if you get it after you have been married. Which might work better in your case. In addition to your passport, bring a certified copy of your marriage certificate.

Once you have your married name, you can apply for AOS with that, and then eventually change your passport to your married name by applying through the Russian embassy/consulate here in the US.
