Hi,

I apologise as I am sure this would have been asked before.

Got SSN upon US arrival and before marriage, in maiden name. Was told to come in with marriage certificate once married and they would change my SSN to my new married name as state of California uses marriage licence as official name change document.

Got married on K1, went to go and change my SSN to married name but because my K1 visa 90 days had expired two days earlier, the system wouldn't let the guy change my SSN to my married name and he didn't really have any advice for me, just that he was sorry and he couldn't override the system and neither could his manager..

Not sure what to do?

Starting to get my documents together for AOS, do I do this in my married or maiden name? What about my work permit? does this have to match my SSN in maiden name?

Am I ever going to be able to use my married name?!

Can someone please help!!

You need to wait until you have your EAD/AP card before you can change your name.

File your AOS in your MARRIED name, same as with your work permit. Your SSN does not need to match.
