My fiance arrived with her K1 visa in mid February. We got married on February 18th - wasting no time! Today we went to the Social Security Admin office to apply for her social security card. We thought we could apply for the card in her new married name since we now have a marriage certificate. The guys at the SSA office said that because were now now married, he could not issue a social security card because the visa is only for a fiance. He said further that we would have to go back to the USCIS to change our status to K-3 then apply for an EAD, and then he would be able to issue a card. He wouldn't take no for an answer but I know he is dead wrong. Can anyone point me to documents or something that would help me sort this out? We are now totally confused. I know that changing status to K-3 once you're already in the country on a K-1 and married is just plain wrong, but how to we get her social security card? HEEEELLLPP!! :help:

She most certainly is eligible for a ss card, go to a different office and request a card in her maiden name. I don't believe she will be able to get a card in her married name until after EAD/AOS.

First of all, congratulations!! :dance::dance:

Secondly, don't believe the SSA when they try to tell you about immigration requirements. She does not need to go through K-3 processing.

Thirdly, she cannot get a card in her maiden name, because that is no longer her name!!

Here's what you need to do.

1. Apply for AOS (I-485) and an EAD card (I-765). Make sure you use your wife's married name on the applications.

2. The EAD will take about 3 months to come through, during which time you will be requested to attend an ASC to get biometrics done.

3. Once you have the EAD card, go back to the social security office and request a card in her married name.

That's all you need to do.

Best of luck,
