Did we mess up with our SSN?

So, back when my wife first landed here, everyone online told us to get her an SSN ASAP. We got one approved at our local office, and then sent off our I-485 before her SSN arrived in the mail. However on the I-485, we checked the box requesting an SSN. We read somewhere here that we needed to do that so that they would update her last name now that she is married, and to remove the "Valid for work only with DHS authorization" part of her card. But now my wife is worried that she will have two different SSNs which will cause all sorts of problems. I personally think that since the I-485 has the same passport number and I-94 number that we provided when we applied for the SSN at the local office, shouldn't they see that there is an existing number with that information and not cause issues? I know someone who had a SSN mix up when he was younger and it still causes him problems to this day, and I don't want the same for my wife.

The regular Social Security card application asks for current name, name at birth and other names used.  I485 asks for all the same names.  It should all match what SS# has with the addition of one more name.   Plus ALL of the other information matches too.  So it seems like it would not be a problem.

When we filled out the I-485, plus the EAD paperwork, we selected "no" to the "Has the Social Security Administration (SSA) ever officially issued a Social Security card to you?" question. We figured since it had not arrived in the mail yet, this was the truthful answer. Will that cause any problems or do you still think that the fact her name, passport #, and I-94 number will match up it won't be a problem?

Sorry about that!

It will not be a problem.

 

I also marked “Yes” to receive an SSN card on both I-485 and I-765 even though I already had one. Half the time they don’t even send one which was the case for me. I had to physically go and get the “Valid with DHS authorization” removed after receiving my GC. No problems there either.
