date of birth wrong on immigration records

[Lorna&Alex 104]

I got married a couple of weeks ago to my husband who is the US citizen and we are currently preparing to send AOS. We were told that i can't change my name on my Social Security card (got one from a previous J1) in the state of Pennsylvania until after we do AOS but i thought i'd go to the social security office anyways and check it out. The man behind the window was processing everything and as expected he said 'there's been a problem' however, the problem was actually that immigration have listed my date of birth differently to whats on my passport (my real date of birth). does anyone know how i can change my date of birth to the correct one with immigration??

Call USCIS to correct the error. They will fix it and send you a confirmation letter. I remember during my AOS I made a typo on my DoB, and corrected it later when I noticed it in the NOA.

i managed to speak to someone at USCIS and they changed my date of birth - YAY! however, they said that it could take 15-30 days to actually process...and i want to send AOS this week  and in order to change my name at Social security, my date of birth has to be correct first...

Does anyone know if i can send the AOS/EAD/AP forms with my husbands last name which will be my new married name even though my Social security card, my bank account and my marriage certificate still have my maiden name on them??

or will I have to send my AOS etc. forms with just my maiden name on them?

 

thanks in advance!!

YES, absolutely.  Social Security is a different agency from Immigration. Use your married name.  When you get an EAD card,  your USCIS record will will be in the married name. Social Security will find your married name in the USCIS database and change your SS card to match USCIS records.

Forgot to say, you will have to go to Social Security and ask for the name change. They won't do it without your prompting. I used to tell people to wait until  greencard to get the name right on the actual SS  card, but AOS is taking so darn long now that you won't want to wait that long. The SSA does want to keep up with your immigration status so I made the dreaded trip to the Social Security office with greencard to update with them I was an LPR. Then again with naturalization certificate so they knew I was a USC. Each time they had to check the USCIS database to verify. And they sent a new card to match the USCIS name. First I had no middle initial or name. Then a middle initial. Citizenship replaced initial with full middle name. Thus new SS cards sent out every time. 

 

I have never shown the actual SS card anywhere but DMV. Most places just have you write down your number which never changes.
