Updating SSN name after marriage, or do we need to apply for AOS first?
-
I appreciate it guys. Thank you!

We're on K1 visa. My wife got her SSN a week after her arrival in the US with her maiden name of course. We got married recently and now plans to go to SSA to update her name to use my last name. I've been trying to search for answers but finds different answers. Some say we could just go ahead as long as we have our certified copy of marriage cert, others says to apply for the AOS first with her updated name(married name) so that USCIS got a record of the name and that it's easier for the SSA to find it, and then there are others that says we need the green card to update her name. Anyone here successfully updated their names on their ssn right after marriage with just the marriage license? Also can my wife apply for a state ID with her married name before we get the actual updated SS card?

Can my partner open a US bank account before we get married on K1 visa?

My fiance just got here in the US and I want her to get her own bank account so that she doesn't need to keep asking me or keeps carrying cash. She got her SSN already but we're not married yet.

Do not overthink things, you'll go crazy lol. If your most recent tax return didn't meet the required income, then you can use bank statements to prove that money is getting deposited into your bank account, paystub, etc. and maybe a letter from your employer to prove that you are a permanent worker that is earning X amount of dollars. At the end of the day, they will only want to know if you can financially support your fiancé and not rely on the government.
