I JUST GOT MY VISA

[iamincognito 0]

i just got my visa, but the problem is they only gave me nov 15, 2008 as expiration date.originally, we both planned that i should leave on january because that will be the time that my fiance is done with his deployment. but because of this new development, we had to change plans and act fast!

so we are planning my flight on nov 11, then my inlaws would be the one picking me up at the airport. will i be able to file for an SSN, get a driver's license in my maiden name while waiting for my fiance to arrive at the states?? any help or tips are highly appreciated.. thank you!

yes you can file ssn using your maiden name...but you have to change it after you got married,,,,,just bring your passport w/visa and bc.....goodluck....if you have PI license its ok to drive here ,,,its depends on the state ,,how long...

Apply ASAP for SSN so you can get a bank account or joint with huby and start your drivers license permit/application or else you will have to wait til you get EAD/AOS. If you wait til I-94 is expired then you have to wait til EAD or AOS to get your SSN. You can then reapply to change your name at SSA and they will need EAD or AOS and then your marriage certificate to change your name to married name.
