Married need help with applying for SSN.

[Viengkham 0]

Hello, finally finance is here on K1 visa and we just married. Its been about 30 days since POE, and finally gotten our certificate of marriage. My wife have changed her last name to mines. Will this in any way affect when applying for SSN process and adjustment of status process?

Also, as I am filling out Application for Social Security, part 3 asked for Citizenship with options for Legal alien allow to work, legal alien not allowed to work and other. Not sure what to select and I am not sure what is needed when at the SS office. Please help.

THanks!

It shouldn't affect the SSN process as long as SSA can verify her K-1 status with her maiden name and you check off "Legal alien allow to work."

E. PROCEDURE—ONLINE SAVE QUERY RESPONSE INFORMATION DOES NOT AGREE WITH IMMIGRATION DOCUMENT

1. Name

e. Applicant Has Changed His/Her Name But SAVE Query Response Shows Old Name

In some cases, the applicant may have changed his/her name after DHS issued the immigration document (e.g., he/she has married and is now using the spouse’s last name) but does not present an immigration document showing the new name. In these cases, the DHS system reflects the new name only when the person provided the name change information to DHS and requested to have his/her immigration record changed to show the new name. When the SAVE query response shows the old name that is shown on the immigration document presented and not the new name on the identity document presented, do not consider this a name discrepancy for enumeration purposes.
