To change your name you just show your marriage license to change on your social security number and your driver's license. I married in Morocco and just went to these departments and showed my marriage license and they changed my name. I hope that you have a translated copy of your marriage license because if you did not get this you will have to take your marriage license to the court house to have it translated and registered. Once you have these legal documents then you can change your bank accounts and all other accounts. First do your driver's license because they need a copy of your social security card and to do your social security card takes more time. I did my social security card first and they destroyed my old card, but luckily I had a ticket from SS stating that I had redone my card. Hope this helps

that we married and be sepreated for 6 months now

Doubt he will get it for a b-2. Also usually the b-2 interviews are scheduled MONTHS out- for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law it was a 3 month wait for a b-2 interview. SO unless you have it scheduled dont waste your money. They has supper ties to the country and were still denied- Accra is not easy for b-2 at all. Being married to a usc as well will not help in securing a b-2.
