What do you mean you brought with you your marriage certificate and passport with an unexpired I-94 - for the SSN?

Chinook applied for a Social Security card one week after she arrived in the U.S. One week later, she received the card in our mailbox. Of course, the card was in her maiden name.

Six weeks after Chinook arrived in the U.S., we were married. A few days after we were married, we went to the county clerk's office and bought a few copies of our official marriage certificate so that she could change the name on her Social Security card. Then we went back to the Social Security office and Chinook filed for a name change to her married name. The new card arrived in the mail a week or so later. The new card was in her married name.

K-1ers are allowed to apply for a Social Security card anytime up until two weeks before their I-94 expires. Once they reach that point, I believe they have to wait and apply for a Social Security card after they receive their conditional green card.

I don't think we needed Chinook's Social Security number for the AOS packet. However, Chinook's Social Security number came in handy for filing my federal income tax return because we filed as a married couple.
