[EZ3145 0]

when is the best time for my fiancee to change her last name for my last name?

Will it be at the time of filling for marriage license or at the time of filling the AOS forms?

Best time to do it when filing for your marriage license.. This will be your starting, the rest of the documentation will follow the new name

True ONLY if your County marriage license form has field for bride's name after marriage. Some do, most do not. OP didn't disclose his location, need to ask this question at local Registrar Office, where the license will be obtained.

I'm in Minnesota. I assume you apply for SS# before marriage license. so if you change your name at the time of applying for the marriage license, do you then go back to social security office and change your name on the card then?

Yes.

For half of my name changes, I've just used the marriage certificate. The other half I needed to have it changed on SS first (like driver's license). I'm not sure that any place will automatically change the bride's name - you have to manually do it everywhere.

It's my understanding that for K-1s, the SS# will be a two step process 1. Get SSN in maiden name as it has to match their database from entry, 2. Get SSN in married name by showing marriage certificate. Sometimes this is delayed until you have EAD or green card.

The best time is "never," as in no name change = no problems.
