Social security problem

[Gelline 5]

My husband and i went to the bank yesterday so that i could be added to his account. She asked for two IDs but i only have my passport so i gave the banker  my social security number, she didnt accept it because according to her my last name in my passport doesnt match my social security. When i got my social security, they added my middle name which is my last name when i was single, because in the philippines you carry that name with you. Unfortunately they cut it and just put three letters of it. I dont know why they did that but i hate it and want it to be removed, espescially now that its giving me problems. So i called social security and asked if it could be corrected and they said they just follow whats in my greencard but i dont even have my greencard yet and that i couldnt change it. If i get my state id, it seems like its gonna be the same as my social security. I only have my passport as another id so i dont want them to say it doesnt match either. Had i known this i shoudve dropped the name and just put my given name cause they even didnt put it completely. Has anyone had problems with opening a bank account? And also can i have my name corrected and remove the four letters of my middle name? The guy i talked to at social security said i couldnt change cause it has to be the same with my greencard

Like you said you don't have your green card yet. You have to update your social security anyway when you get your GC. Tell them to fix it when it arrived.
