Question regarding ssn#

[Kros 0]

Me and my gf which came on her K1 visa got married last week and we are going to the ssn office on thursday. I have couple of questions such as: what address do we use on the application? the one in US or the one on the visa (address in Poland), second do we use her maiden name like on the visa or the new name and a marriage certificate as a proof of that? I also read that we need a second ID but the only ID we have is her passport and her ID card from Poland. Would that be enough to get a ssn# and would the fact that we are going after a wedding be a problem as well? Thanks for all the help

U S address as she is becoming a resident

Many will do it is maiden name as it is what the USCIS knows her as... but others have done it in married name...

I would suggest using her married name (if she wants to change it) - I have not done it applying for the green card and now it might turn into a major pain as I need to change the passport and use my married name there but having my green card show my maiden name. I guess it is easier the other way around - more natural and obvious. The only problem is that they might request the name on the SSN application to be the same as on her IDs (Polish), then you'll know what to do. You'd be better off asking on the spot.

I think that the two documents you mention will be enough. The new Polish ID (which she should have by now) does have explanations in English as well.
