wife’s middle name not in the marriage certificate

[cheekiest 0]

Hello Vj members.I’m not even sure if I posted it on the right place. My wife (enter as K1) and I got married last week and just today we received our marriage certificate, we went to SSA so that she can change her name on the card with her married name, but then the lady told us that they cant change it because her middle name is not in the marriage certificate. I remember when we applied for the license and ask the lady on the county clerk why she didn’t put my wife’s middle name and all she said was its ok. But now seems like were having issues with it. We weren’t able to change her SSN to her married now and when we return to the county clerk to tell them about our problem, what they said was that, they can’t do anything once the marriage certificate is printed, unless there is a court order telling them to do so. So we went to the circuit and even district court to ask information regarding our problem but none of them were helpful about it. They told us we need a lawyer to fix it. which is impossible right now for me to afford it coz its not that cheap. And we were planning to file for AOS soon but we’re worried that her middle name not on the marriage certificate will bring more problems. we even called the cabinet for health and family services of Kentucky to see if they can do something about our problem with our marriage certificate but they told us that they won’t have a record of our marriage until like 4-6 weeks. Hope you guys can give me some advice about it because I’m afraid my wife will be deported or so.

Wow, more problems and what to do about it. Certainly you had to sign that certificate. On ours, my signature came first, then my wife's, then the judge, then our two witnesses, then the clerk of court.

It listed my name first, then the names of my parents, then my wife's name and parents. So I took the time to make sure everything was correct. All six names were pretyped on the form. And I took my time to make sure everything was 100% before signing it. it was.

Why? My wife was married at the ripe old age of 18 and signed her previous marriage certificate with typos on that. And we needed that corrected because this was a part of the paper trail to prove her daughter was hers. In her crooked home country, cost us $1,500 US dollar to get the corrected.

Can only ask you why you signed yours before getting it corrected, and not having the money to get it corrected, is no excuse with the USCIS.

Yet another requirement on our certificate was each signature be signed the way it was typed. Was a happy day and in a very good mood. But was standing over the shoulder of the other five people that had to sign it making sure each signed it as it was printed.

Oh, and when you get to the US citizenship stage, if you walk out the door with one typo on it, will cost you 400 bucks and another eight month wait. While my girls were jumping around, I was very carefully reading every minor detail. With the slightest error, forget about voters registration, the DMV, SS, and the DOS for getting a US passport.
