Thanks I Quit!!!!!! on sunday 14th i read your post and decided to write a message in http://www.ssa.gov/feedback/

monday evening i got an answer and a mail from the SSA saying i can go now because if my I-94 has less than 76 days doesnt mind if i am married or not. they also sent a memo to the georgetown SSA and on tuesday morning was driving there with all my documents.

i applied without any problem, also took my wedding certificate so my SSN is with my married name. I just went to check my mail and there was my new card

thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!

You can get a Social Security number after getting married if your I-94 has no more than 76 days

Interesting. It seems that people on a VISA are better of then people who are in te process of AOS. First time I came to US in 2005 on J1 iwhich was initially valid for 8 months. I decided to get SSN so I could open a bankaccount and get a driver's license. No problem at all. I got a driver's license valid for 5 years. Both went pretty smoothly. All of this was in Utah. During my stay there I met my wife and left US in beginning 2007.

We decided to do K1 and I got back 2 months ago. Since my wife moved to Missouri I went there to renew my Utah driver's license for a Missouri one. The officer told me she could only give me a temporary one, valid until my I-94 expiry date. Fortunately, she didn't mind if I kept my Utah license which is still good for 2.5 years.
