Name change and SSN number

[AMarina 0]

Dear VisaJourney members,

could you please advise on the following: I have requested to get my husband's last name as a part of my naturalization process. My Oath Ceremony is this Friday, and my naturalization certificate will be issued with this new name. My social security card has my maiden name on it. Do you know if I need to change my social security number as a result? Or do you just report name change to them and they send you the card with the same number, but new name?

I wanted to file I-130 for my parents as soon as I get my citizenship, but am now confused whether my SSN will change and I should wait until that is sorted out before I can file I-130. Any advice would be greately appreciated.

Thank you!

The name on your SSN has no bearing on the I-130.... however, you should change your name with SSA as soon as it is convienient for you to do so.

This is so common, woman gets married, her last name changes to her husbands name, you just bring in your marriage certificate, and while you are at it, bring in your USC certificate with a filled out SS5. Can also mail it in, but wouldn't risk they losing your USC certificate. Your SSN will remain the same.
