Knowledge is power..... I bet you're glad you knew what you were talking about or it would have meant yet another trip to the SSA office.

Good for you!!! We ran into the same kind of hassle and just as you have done, we had to help them do their job too.

We are still waiting for the SSA to let us change my wifes SSN to her married name. Her I-94 expired so according to them she is out of status and an illegal alien. They will not issue her card in her married name until she gets her GC. She did get a card in her maiden name though.

YAY! sSorry it was a pain - but isn't a SSN with your married name cool? I just got mine last week...I've been on a tear since then - changing my name on credit cards, driver's liscense....it's heaps of fun!

Karo112 yep its cool once i get the official card then we will starting puting things in my name as well like bills bills and more bills lol

when Claudeth applied for her card they told her to wait until she got something offical from USCIS like her EAD or GC before she trys to change her name with social security so that's what we did. No big deal and now she is working with her married social security card and fancy EAD card! Woo Woo
