Change of Name????

[EZ3145 0]

Here's a thought of mine. Please, advice if it doesn't make sense.

I know when you apply for marriage license you're allowed to also change your names by filling a section on the marriage application form. Is this name change effective after the marriage is done?

I called a service center in MN, and was told I can apply for marriage license even if my fiancee has no social security number. She just need to know her passport with the k1 visa stamp in it.

here's my thought.

I'm thinking I'll get the marriage part of things done first so she can use her new name to apply for the social security card.

so that she won't have to go back and change her name on the SS card after getting married.

Does this make sense or it will cause a problem down the line?

I began using my new name after the wedding whenever I filled out forms or anything like that.

Sure, you may opt to get married first before applying for an SSN but I read somewhere a long time ago that some states require an EAD when you apply for an SSN after the wedding. I don't know how accurate that is. I applied for my SSN before getting married.
