Hi mam..it'll be fine, dont worry about it. Different SSA offices have different way of dealing it depending on the knowledge of the person whom you submitted your application. Just go back whenever you received your 2 yr greencard or your working permit, i can't see any problem on that.

HALLER!

Yeah don't worry just wait to see what happens.

All I know is that I am not pretending to use my future husbands last name! I love him very much but my last name is what my father gave me tha'ts my blood! my hubbie is from another family!..period!

It really pisses me off that here in the USA you have to change your last name, my husband is not my father c'mon!

It really pisses me off that here in the USA you have to change your last name, my husband is not my father c'mon!

Who told you that you HAD TO change your last name? You DON'T. You can keep using your maiden name.

Please... common occurence... nobody FORCES you to do anything... If you wanted to change your name to a symbol (aka.. Prince) you could do so....

YMMV

You can go back to the SSA office, bring your marriage certificate and tell them that you wnat your name changed. Some of the personnel at SSA dont seem to know that they can do that even withour your GC.

I have my name changed already, no hassle on the first try. Goodluck!
