Heyy evrybody!

I would like to ask if anybody can help me decide what to do...

Ive got to the usa 18 october, and se were thinking of getting my ss# tomorrow (before marriage) (we will get married next week)

Should we wait after the marriage to get the ss#?

Does that even matter?

Thank u!!!

Get it before you get married. VERY IMPORTANT

You can get your I-94 from here : https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/

If you get married first, you will have to wait after your AOS before you can get the SSN Number

Please keep in mind that some dates are only known after receipt of another document.
For example, the USPS Form 3811. The stamped receiving date was not know until the original Form 3811 was received on 07/13/2013 1:30 p/m CST.

you normally have to wait about 10 days before your I-94 will show up on the site, maybe you will get lucky and it will post fast.

Get it before you get married. VERY IMPORTANT

You can get your I-94 from here : https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/

If you get married first, you will have to wait after your AOS before you can get the SSN Number

Are you sure? I was under the impression you can get SSN until the I-94 is about to expire (forgot exact time frame) and if I-94 is expired then you have to wait until after AOS?

my wife got her ss# about 3 weeks after she arrived...

we got married 2 weeks after she arrived.

she applied for the ss# using her maiden name, use the same name that is on her visa.. this is to be sure ss doesn't have a problem because the names do not match.(we did not tell ss we were married)

no problems getting her ss#... about a week after we got he ss#, we returned to ss office with copy of marriage certificate and they said she can not change her name on ss card until she has her EAD/work permit, or green card.. so ok, no big deal..

when you complete the AOS forms, be sure to write your name as your married name (if that is what you will be using).. there is a question on the AOS forms asking if you have used any other names... that is where you write your maiden name, visa name...

Thanks for your answer!

We just came back from marrying at the clercks house and i saw that the marriage licence doesnt show my married name. It just shows my madien name and then obviously my husbands name...

When we asked the lady she said that the change has to be done at the ss office on my ss#. Now, we all know that social security wont let me change my name if i dont take (together with my marriage certificate) an immigration form with my new name on it...(call it EAD, call it GC...)

So my question is... How can i fill out the forms using my married name if my marriage licence doesnt show that name?

Do I just fill it that way cause with the marriage certificate they will have enough prove that my name has to be changed?

I dont know if im explaining myself... I just mean that before we goy married i tought that marriage certificate would come with my name as Eva + my now husbands lastname... And that that was needed to be able to fill out forms with married name, for after be able to receive EAD on my married name to be able to go back to ss office to change name on my ss card...

Is this normal situation? Do your marriage certificate shows your madien name or your marriage name?

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

It's ok, Florida and some other states don't have a field where it's stated clearly if a woman (or man) takes on spouses name but it's ok. If you do take your husbands name just fill your AOS forms in your new married name (your marriage cert. is a legal name change document) and after receiving EAD you then can change your SSN name.
