Social security office has maiden name on their computer?

Social security office has maiden name on their computer?

All of my documents are with married name with USCIS.

This is very strange and I wonder can some veterans enlighten me.

A brief rundown on my chain of events:

--K-1 visa approved June 2010

--POE and marriage July 2010

--AOS 1 week after marriage (All documents submitted with married name only)

--Green card approved September 28, receieved October 10(with married name only)

--Social security office visit, October 12, DHS info in their computer shows green card approved, but in maiden name?

All NOAs from AOS, plus the green card ALL have married name. Why is the DHS info at the SS office have "Status- Permanent Resident-Mrs. ... (maiden name)"?

The SS officer submitted a request for a card in her maiden name (without my apporval!!) and hands us a sheet of paper to make an infopass appt...

At the same time the SS officer is telling us to return with proof of her name change with DHS. I was holding a NOA(return address DHS...) plus a green card, plus state sealed original marriage app and license ALL with the married name, she didnt care. "Return with proof from DHS of your name change" was all she could tell me, even though I challenged her with all my documents.

Am I missing something here? Do I return in 2 weeks and the information in their computers will have magically changed to married name? Are they doing this to people only to link the married + unmarried name to ONE SSN?

Can anyone explain this scenario?

At this point in the process I would get the SNN in her maiden name and then at some point in the future return with the marriage license to change the name. The name is not that important--it is the number. How many times have you actually pull out your Social security card and shown it to some one? Mos tof the time we just rattle off the number and most places are fine with that (using it for the I-9 might be one place for problems, but then you are dealing with a business not the government).

My Mother had a used a different first name her entrie life as she never liked her given first name so she used her middle name as her first name, her maiden name as her middle and her married name as her last. To this day is it not a problem that she has documentation with her given first name or her middle name--however her official government name is her given first name.

I understand that you want everything to be correct and that the govenment should be able to do this as we are their customers and they work for us--that point tends to be lost on most government employees. I would wait awhile before going back. Tell them that you want to change the name on a SSN and present the marriage certificate, GC, and original SSC. IF this office continues to give you the run around see if you can go to another office. Maybe they are trained better.

I am dreading the time I have to deal with the SSA to get my fiancee a SSN. We have talked about whether she should change her name or not. We will apply for the SSN in her maiden name and then see how that goes.

Good luck to you and I hope all is resolved soon.

That was wrong.

A foreign-born person’s legal name is the name shown on his or her immigration document.

The only time you may process an SSN application in a name that does not agree with the name shown on the immigration document is if the person legally changed his or her name after the immigration document is issued. In these situations, the legal name is the name shown on the evidence of the name change.

RM 10212.001 Defining the Legal Name for an SSN:

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110212001

The number holder’s first and last name on his or her SSN card must agree with the first and last name shown on the document submitted as evidence of identity or legal name.
