My fiancee already has a SSN from when she attended university in the states. Will this SSN be used or will she need a new one?

For the name change on the SS card - what docs do we have to provide?

Thanks :)

She will keep the same SSN.

To change her name, she needs to fill in an new form and take with her proof of her name change (such as a marriage certificate). The form has instructions on what they need to see for a change of name.

You can find the form online on the SSA website.

However, not sure if you can successfully change her last name to her married name until she either gets her EAD or GC that's issued under her married name. Suggest you do more research here on VJ as there are some posts about other VJers experience about name change with SSA.

No only she needs to request a name change but also request the removal of the legend "valid for work only with USCIS authorization" ok?

That's only when she'll have the green card though, isn't it?

cshaw101: They usually require the EAD or the Green Card to get the name changed. But her number itself won't change so it's not a big deal.

That's what we thought too but when we went in after getting the EAD card we were told once again that they were awaiting USCIS approval. It's 4 months since we first went in to have it changed. The last time we went in was a month ago and both times they told us that they were still waiting....
