It's changed when she chooses it to be changed... The marriage certificate is proof of the name change...

Did you get an SSN in the unmarried name or not? If you did, then taking a copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of your NOA might help (some offices will change the name others won't.) You must apply for AOS in her 'new' name (Married name) thereby her green card will be in her new name and that can then be used to change the name on SSN, driver's license etc. (if they do not change it with just the production of the marriage certificate enad NOA.) And yes you can also apply for the EAD in the new name and use that to change the names also (we didn't apply for EAD as she wasn't ready to work then.) Good Luck
