Okay update!! They gave me my ssn, but they didn’t tell me I needed to bring all my documents (marriage license etc) so I uh, didn’t. So no new card issued, but I ATLEAST have the ssn. Jesus Christ. 

 

Wow.... What a freaking ordeal. Glad you got the SSN at least!

Yeah I broke down crying when she asked for the documents I didn’t have. LOL! But then she went to talk to a supervisor and got my number for me. Thank god.

Glad that you have at least got the SSN. I can imagine that this period has been very stressful while you have been waiting for it. Are you going to go back with the documents and collect the card soon?

Yeah. I’m gonna set up an appointment with the one closest to us, because this one was 40min away, and just go whenever they have an opening. I don’t NEED the card right now thankfully, so I don’t have a very high urgency feeling anymore

That's understandable. I'm just glad you finally managed to get the SSN! I imagine you will be looking to file your AOS as soon as you possibly can now?

I'll tell you one thing... We did Jaycel's name change to her married name on the I-485 and I-765 forms in the AOS package and we got approval for her I-765 last Wednesday and we got her new SSN in her married name in the mail yesterday. They beat USCIS in producing the EAD card even!  LOL It's all so random

How did you do the name change?

Yes! We have to before the 30th because that’s when I’ll be out of status. I already did 80% of the paperwork, just need to do some research on the questions I’m not sure on and add some proof. Can’t wait to breathe a sigh of relief once it’s been sent

We put her new, married name as her "Legal Name" on the I-485 and I-765 and her maiden name under "Other Names Used". We then put her SSN in the section provided and checked the box saying we wanted the SSA to send a new card on both forms. Since we got approved for the I-765 on Jan 8, her name is now changed with the SSA and we got the new card with her married name in the mail yesterday. It still has the disclaimer "Valid for Employment Only with DHS Authorization" on it. Once they approve the I-485, they will send the replacement SS Card with that disclaimer removed.

Oh that’s awesome! Did you do anything else for the name change?

It’s crazy that the 756 is already accepted!! I’m so happy for you!

Nothing else for the name change - We are just waiting for the EAD card to come because we need that to get Jaycel's Learner Permit at the DMV and to change her name on our joint bank account.

I can definitely imagine it will be a relief for you after about 2 months of waiting for the SSN. I hope all goes well with the submission of the AOS as well
