I485 and social security number

[irenovic 0]

I'm filling out the I485 and i'm just confused on part 1 where it asks my family name. Do i put my maiden name that i was using on the K1 or do i put my new married name now??

Also, i'm confused about getting my social security number, can i apply for it now or do i have to wait til i get my EAD??

Please help

Thank you

If you took your husband's name, put your new married name as the family name.

You can get your SSN now (it's better if it's been 14 days since you entered the US to make sure you're in the system). Read this.

If you want your married name on Green-Card then, use married name on the I-485 form part 1, you put maiden name in part 3 of the form under name on departure record I-94.

Please use the example forms: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=examples

K-1 can apply for SSN any time up to 2 weeks before I-94 card expire, after that need EAD pr Green-Card to apply for SSN.
