[jlovesj 0]

hello everyone,

we just got married first day of june, finally our marriage certificate arrived, we dont know now whats the next step to do? because we went to ss office yesterday to change my name in my ssn card( which under my maiden name) to my married name but the officer didnt allowed me he said i need to report our marriage in the local office of immigration and this office will give me stamp in my passport and after that the officer in ss office told me to show it to them and they will allow me to change my name. im now residing in jacksonville florida. any one who knows where is the local office of immigration here.

thank you so much.

based on the info we gathered

after marriage of a k1 visa holder.

1. go back to ss office change your name to married name.

2. report your marriage to the phil embassy here in florida.

3. i get my state id

4. can get driver's license

5. aos

hope anyone can help us with this matter.

god bless everyone!

Normally, you can have your name on your SS card changed into your married name --just bring your original marriage license/certificate, but some SSA officer are misinformed about this. I'd suggest doing your AOS as soon as you can and then go back to SSA office once you have your EAD or GC received.

I haven't really change my ssn also till I got my GC. It won't be a problem when filing AOS. Just wait for it and go back later pag may gc na to match all names especially when getting a DL. Good luck!

oo girls, yun din pagkakaalam ko just go back so ss office present your marriage certificate then they wil change your id to to your married name. ang nakakaasar pa the first time i went there to get my ssn card in my maiden name the black guy was so kind and he told me just go back there after we get married para ma change id ko sa married name ko. then we got back yesterday there i ended up with a filipino officer and he told me pumunta ko sa local office ng imigration and report my marriage tapos balik na lang ako dun pag may stamp na passport ko ng k3 visa. badtrip na badtrip tlaga ako kasi i explained everything he said mali info ako.

kaya eto im wondering if mga k1 visa holder dito after u got married ba nagreport pa kayo sa local office ng immigration. or aos na agad.

ano ba tlga gawin after marriage? kasi alam ko report sa phil embassy yung marriage then gather paper for aos and do your aos.

anyone from jacksonville or florida who got their ssn card in their married name and ganun din ba sabi ng ss officer.

kaasar tlga.

thanks everyone!!

Nag-report lang ako ng marriage sa Philippine Embassy noong nag-renew ako passport ko kasi expired na. Ano yun report of marriage sa Immigration? Hindi ko alam yun ah! Hindi naman requirement sa AOS yun.

Hi Im in Florida too and I went to Jacksonville,FL for my biometrics for AOS and EAD last April 24.

I went to SSA 1week after my entry here in the US then went back after we got married to changed it to married name..the girl who assisted me when I applied for ssn told me to come back after we got married and just bring our marriage certificate and my passport with my I-94 on it and didn't encounter any problem even the girl who assisted me to changed my ssn to married name is not the same girl who assisted me when I applied for ssn.

I dont know the report of marriage at the Immigration..wlang service nun sa local immigration office,masasayang lng oras mo.If I were you tawag ka uli sa SSA office nyo then ask mo kung ano need mo to change your ssn to married name then pag sinabi na marriage certificate lng at yung passport mo....punta ka in person then sbhin mo na tumawag ka at yun lng pnapadala sau,or hanapin mo yung black guy na nag-assist sayo nung nag-apply kna ssn mo.Ang iba kc na staff sa SSA mga wlang alam pagdating sa mga immigration status natin.

You only need to report your marriage at the Philippine Embassy for renewal or amendment of passport...not for changing ssn to married name..hndi yun requirements.

Btw,eto yung address ng Local USCIS office sa Jacksonville:

napalitan ko lang ang SS ko sa married name ng nakuha ko na ang EAD ko kung hindi ako nagkakamali pero pagkakasal namin napalitan ko naman ang state ID ko sa married name ko ng nakuha ko na marriage certificate ko..kasi before ako kinasal kumuha na ako ng state ID gamit ko maiden name ko

Yup kung may iba pa SSA office dyan,subukan mo punta.D2 ako sa Tallahassee,FL 2 to 3 hours drive to Jacksonville.Nagpunta lng kmi dyan nung biometrics ko...

Syanga pla pag kukuha ka State ID need mo din SSN tska kelangan kuha ka state ID at least a month bago ma-expire I-94 mo or else papabalikin ka pag may EAD or GC kna.

Nanguha kc ako state id ko 1 month bago ma-expire I-94 ko,married name na gamit ko..

Nakapunta kna sa Jacksonville Landing at Regency Mall/Dillards?May filipino restaurant dun.Mas gusto ko dyan kesa d2 kc mas marami pinoy dyan eh...d2 konti lng.

You don't have to report your marriage with the immigration because that's what the AOS --adjustment of status-- is for. If you want to report your marriage, you do it with the Philippine Consulate, but if I were you, I will focus on AOS first, since you have a year to inform Philippine Consulate about your marriage. SS is not needed for the AOS. If you want to save yourself from going back and forth to SSA, I'd change the maiden name into married one after you got the EAD or GC. It's because if you change it now, you will still receive your SS card with the notation that you cannot work unless DHS authorized. That notation will be removed from your card once you received either EAD or GC. So basically, you'll have another trip back to SSA.

thank you girl, i will try my luck one more time to go to a different ss office if i encounter same problem then the best thing to do is wait till i get my greencard or ead.

god bless.
