Hi! I want to ask to those who have their name changed to married name @ SS office. Do you still have your previous number when u were single? Or do they give a new number? Thanks!

You keep the same number forever. That's the beauty of the whole thing and the secret to avoiding the SSN mess. Get that SSN immediately and then change the name after marriage and after you have your green card in the married name. They will go into their "name check infarctions" and YOU will have your SSN! Anytime you can let the government keep their SNAFUS to themselves, do it!

Get your social security number first ,( you have too use the same name when you entered the USA at the POE , cause the SSA will send it too DHS to see if your entry into the USA was legal .) Then when your SSC arrives in the mail , and if your not married yet . Wait untill after your married , and use your Marriage License , to apply for a new SSC at the SSA . Then you will recieve the new SSC , with your new legal name change , and no documents get sent to DHS again . For the aproval of your name change for your SSN , cause the SSA will do it themselfs .
