Hey guys!

This maybe a stupid question, but I have to ask it, because when we applied for SSN they told us to use her maiden name even though we were already married.

In question #1 on I-765 it asks for the family name. Should my wife use her new name or use her name before she got married. Then she would use her maiden name under that.


Sorry for the stupid question, but I just want to be safe.


thanks,

All AOS documents that my wife filed used her new married name.

Dunno what SSA is on about. If you are now married, then I would have expected that she would apply in her married name.

I applied for my SSN right after we were married, and I used my married name, not my previous last name. I took my certified marriage certificate to show the name change, and that was fine.

As far I as know I used my SSN is in my maiden name (even though) I am married - as all my supporting documents are in my maiden name. So as I receive my official documents I will change into my married name.
