hi i am here in states with a K1 visa. we got married last Oct. 23, 2009 and i applied for my social security number ryt after the wedding. everything was pretty good but i am a little bit confuse about my middle name now. my name is zenaida agtang manibog. in the philippines after marriage girls changing their middle name and we replaced it by our lastname like zenaida manibog mclain. my lastname b4 when i was still single should be my middle name after marriage but i am curiuos here in states becoz their middle names are different i dont know what i am going to declare. i asked my husband b4 i applied the ssn what am i gonna place here as my middle name now that were married? and he said just what is in ur birth certficate. so i followed him i placed there agtang my middle name when i was still single and another problem is my middle name in my birth certificate was not properly encoded they placed only initial which is A and not Agtang so i really dont know what to use. now were planning to file my AOS this coming december i want everything to be ok. anybody could give me an advice what am i gonna use this time on my AOS as middle name? is it my lastname when i was single or just follow my birth certificate since i started using it already in my Social Security

You should have done it just like you would have in the philippines. (maiden lastname) They wont question it in the US. Also, you can do a change of name on your social security card to make it match what you put on your AOS application.
