When you go to the SSA have your forms filled out with your married name and your marriage certificate (not your license to marry). They will not be able to verify your married name in the DHS database because it is not there. What they can do is put your maiden name in the system to verify, then change the last name due to your marriage certificate. This is what we did but as others have said, it's easier when the person at SSA has a clue about the system

Yes you can, but since the I-94 is automated now, you do not really need to wait 2 weeks to apply for the SSN.

~ Moved from AOS from Family Based to Social Security Numbers - topic is SSN, not AOS ~
