My ssn is still in my maiden name. Can I change my maiden name in my ssn by just presenting my EAD card? or I still have to wait for the green card?

Thank you.

Didn't work for me-you have to make sure you have some form of evidence from homeland security which post dates the date on your I-94 otherwise they can't issue you a ssn in ur maiden name cos they have no proof that you are here legally. If you have your EAD, bring it with you.

We just went to SSA to change a name.. and they should go to DHS office to change the name.. I called SSA and after 29 min on hold they told me that the name change can be done only after DHS office changes the name in VISA. Just made an appointment to INS for this afternoon.. will let you guys know how it will turn out. In theory they are correct.. After the marriage even the DL wont ve bale to be in the brides new name, because the DOT/DMV computer asks permission with DHS office. And that happened to me yesterday. The Dl will be issued in the name that's on the visa. I assume the AOS with sent marriage certificate will change the last name at DHS automaticaly, and trigger the chain of releases in DMV and SSA.

Just came back.. Under F-129, the name change cannot happen, until the visa holder files for AOS and gets the Green card.

Thats what i just been told. :-(

I am trying to change my last name. I already have a ss card.

I read these posts and really confused.

If I have ID, DL, SSC with my maiden name then under what name should I file all forms like I-130, I-485, I-765 etc ?
