Social security number issues

[cazandjohn 0]

I am in the final stages of getting my visa (have my interview next week) and am just wondering if there i anyone out there (Im sure there is) who married someone in the military? Because he's still in training we can not live together until we are married so we are planning on getting married at the court house the day after I get there so we can do the paper work required with them and hopefully live together soon after. But my concern is getting my social security number as it says I should apply for it in my maiden name then 2 weeks later marry then go and change it. We can't really afford to wait as it would mean me staying in a hotel. Can I still apply for it in my maiden name once we are married then change it later anyway?

I hope someone can help me

Thank you

Carrie

Yes, get your SSN then get married right after, then you guys take your marriage certificate, social security card, and you ID to DEERS to put you in the system as his dependent. What branch is he?

You can get married first.

Just when you apply for your SSN do not tell them you are married.

Apply in your maiden name, many people have done that just fine.

He is in the airforce based in Monterey, California at the moment. Theres so much conflicting information regarding this. How long does the SSN take to come through?

Thank you

This was what we were think but don't want to stuff things up at the same time... But we weren't planning on changing my surname for awhile anyway to make it easier so this should be fine.

Thank you
