Hello all.

I got here in the US last January 20th. Today, I received my social security card. Kinda confusing that the middle name on the ss card is my maiden name. Would that create any problem given that all my USCIS docs has a different middle name which was my mother's maiden name?

Also, since I am on a CR1 category anything else we have to worry about now besides the removal of conditions which is in 2 years?

Thanks.

Go back and get it corrected, ask to see the name befor they print it

Thanks, maybe will call SSA.

So is the green card different from the social security card? Since I received the sscard today will I receive the greencard sometime this week too?

Is the name on your SS card showing your married name in the traditional format where you have your maiden last name as your middle name now, and your husband's last name as yours? Are you planning to use the traditional married name format? If so you may just want to update your green card.

FYI, the SS card is for government purposes, benefits, etc... The GC is for your status as a LPR, conditional or not, and allows you to travel outside the US and return while the GC is still valid. I hope this helps.

Hi Hank. Yes the SS card is on the traditional format and yes I'd like to kepp it that way just so its consistent with my documents in the Philippines.

I'm waiting on the green card hopefully I get it this week too. How would I update the name on the green card then?

Did you pay the immigrant fee of $165?

Hi apple21, yes I did pay it a day before I left PI.

Thank you carton25. Now I'd really just want to update the green card once I get it just so it's consistent with my Philippine passport and some other docs.

Once you have in hand your SSN and GC, you will be idle about paperworks preparation till the next step-I 751 which will take place in 2 yrs time.Relax and chill out for the meantime! :-)

That's right, relax and time to have a good time. :)

Thank you all for all your responses. :)
