Fiance already received their social security number. After marriage will be submitting AOS. The Social Security office said to come back after marriage for a name change. But for the I-485 and in the instructions, for number 16 and 17, we are instructed to mark yes if you want to receive a replacement with name change. If we mark "no" and go to the office for the name change, is that faster and acceptable? Or should we be marking yes on the I-485 and wait for the I-485 to process and then receive it?
Quote from instructions:
"If your application is approved, the SSA may assign you an SSN and issue you a Social Security card, or issue you
a replacement card. If you want the SSA to assign you a Social Security number and issue you a Social Security
card, or issue you a new or replacement Social Security card, then answer “Yes” to both Item Number 16. and
Item Number 17."
