Resident Card / Social Security / Computer System

[soulprovider915 4]

Here is something interesting. My wife's aunt and her daughter just received their conditional permanent resident cards. There are no errors on the cards. They go to the social security office and they say that the daughter's name matches in the immigration computer system. But, the aunt's name in the immigration system is still under her maiden name yet the resident card is under the married name. The social security office said that it will take 4 weeks to confirm the info. What I don't understand is that when she went to the social security office 2 months ago with her work authorization card they told her she'd have to wait 4 weeks but didn't give an explanation. Is this normal? If she has to correct it where does she start?

It just takes a while for the database to be updated. Four weeks is the outside, more likely she will get a card in a couple weeks.

I didn't have that problem; they may have just given a general timeframe just in case.

Yeah social security basically said the immigration computer says she's the maiden name and not the married name. But as the previous poster said it takes time to update the system. She did get her resident card in 3 months 10 days. It was quite fast.
