Got my EAD with my Maiden Name

[jaguar89 6]

Hello Guys,

 

I would like to share a good news of mine, I got my EAD yesterday. I am very thankful to this website which helps me process my AOS without me hiring a lawyer, because we cannot really afford it right now. However, I hope you could help me again, with this concern. I filed all my forms with my maiden name, and on my EAD it's also my maiden name which is appearing. I will be applying for SSN soon, Do you think it will affect my Identification records? Should I follow my maiden name on applying for SSN? and when I got an approval on my green card, will they change my maiden name to my husband's last name automatically? Thanks in advance. BTW I have updated my Timeline

Your green card won't automatically have your husband's last name. You will have to indicate during the interview that you want your husband's last name on the green card or else it will have your maiden name on it and changing that will cost a lot of money and time. As for your EAD, I think the same time/cost applies to changing your EAD, but you'll have to look into that.  

 

As for your SSN, you should be able to get your husband's name on you SSN card if you bring your marriage certificate with you. Worst case scenario, if your SSN is already on its way because you asked for it on your EAD form you just walk into a SSA office with your marriage certificate and ID and they'll change it and send out a new card.

Thank you very much for spending your time to look into my concern. I called the USCIS and they said they did not request SSN for me, so I have to apply it by myself. I will take your advice   Thank you again

If your EAD has your maiden name, your SSN will have the maiden name as well.
