Hi there,

I entered the USA from Canada on a K1 Visa and am now residing in Texas with my new hubby (we got married yesterday).

My question is in regards to changing my name and applying for AOS. Since I'm in Texas it was not required that I have a SSN to get married, so I have not yet applied for one. I'm wondering since we are now married if I should apply for my SSN using his surname. Also, when filling out forms for AOS should I also use his surname or my maiden name?

Thank you!

I got my SSN before my wedding, so I cannot help you with question #1. As for the AOS forms, you will want to fill them out in your new married name (if you have signed the marriage certificate using his last name that is), so you get all documents from USCIS in your married name.

USCIS will be ok with your marriage certificate as an appropriate name change document so you can apply for EAD/AP/AOS in his surname. This will be the name that you see on your EAD/AP and Green Card (GC) once your AOS is approved.

If someone else could chime in about SSN question that would be great.
