Starting AOS process

[I_Am_That_I_Am 46]

Dear Fellow VJers,

As i mentioned before that as soon as i get a response from SSA regarding Orlando Card Center's refusal to let me use my husband's last name when i applied for Name Change, now im back to let everybody know that the lady who said they can't do it received a memo from SSA main office informing her that K1 holders even without EAD and/or GC can do Name Change as long as MC, Passport and I-94 (valid) are presented upon application.

So this lady called and asked me to go back to the office and said she'll personally process my request. Although hubby and I are not so excited about the idea of having to go back there and do it all over again, we are very thankful that because of this event everybody working in this center now knows what they should /supposed to know abt K1 holders.

I hope this won't happen to any K1 holders or to anybody again.

Good Luck to all of us and THANK you so much for all your help.

Cheers!

Chie M.

I"m glad it worked out for you and they're letting you change your name! I don't think the offices will ever change though but atleast the main office isn't useless and knows the the rules, lol.
