Egh. What a pain.

We went to the SSN office to change my name on my SSN card.

Turns out I can't until I have my DHS document with my married name on it!

(Is that my EAD or my Green Card?)

Anyway, it's such a pain. I just want it changed so I can get things like a bank account or driver's licence!

Y don't u just get stuff done with ur maiden name? I don't think it's a problem for anybody... I never changed my last name and not going to till we have a kid - thats the deal, i love my husband to death but I like my own identity B-)

Aww...thanks Camie! She's my very special gift...my ex couldn't have children so we adopted her as a newborn. I waited a VERY long time to be a mom and I've been blessed with such a wonderful daughter!!

Awww, well you must've racked up some serious karma points to get her! I can't wait to be a mom.

Because I want it all in my married name instead of having to get it in my maiden name and go back and change it all again. Just seems like a waste of effort.

AP is advanced parole.

It's a document that lets you re-enter the US incase you had to leave for an emergency while your AOS is still processing.

Once again, thank you so much!!!

I was viewing my case status online and found out that my I-485 was "touched" yesterday. I hope that's good news! :D But my AP hasn't been touched since 02/23 and my husband wants me to call USCIS to ask about it. Should I call them now or just wait some more? :unsure:

You can still get a bank account even without the EAD. I just showed my passport and marriage license. The bank accepted them and used my married name. ;)

This is actually possible, you just have to fight them about it. It took me 2 trips, and arguing with the manager about their policies before they actually "tried" to put it through the system and it miraculously worked. I didn't have my name changed on my J-1 paperwork (although this is what the person had originally told me to do). There is a thread somewhere that has a link to the appropriate SSO policies which I printed out and brought with me. I also emailed the SSO and asked about it in advance, and brought the printed out email with me for backup.

It was a LOT of hassle, but it is possible.
