State (Nondriver) ID, married name issue?

[heo luoi 206]

Fiance came on K1 Visa.

We got married few days later. Did Name change.

Went to Social Security office few days later. No problems. Got married name on it. said 2 wks, realistic 8 days. Got in like 2 days.

Went to get VAX shots today.

Stopped by the KANSAS DMV, had I94, passport, SSN...etc.

They said her name had to match on her 'immigration'

Is this BS?

The docs said IDs were govt id, the i94 authorization, SSN, and doc of name change?

They said I had to get her 'name changed' on Immigration? I94/passport...etc. This sounds a bit incredulous no?

I brought along my marriage certificate to prove the name change. No issue at all with DMV.

I had my 4 certified copies and they didnt seem to care. I'm in the USCIS SAVE dbase too. w/ some entry from my the Social Security office in MD.

Seems as though Kansas is like California in that you MUST have either green card, EAD or I-551 stamp in passport to get one if you're non-US citizen.

Non-U.S. Citizens must be processed through the System Alien Verification for Entitlement (SAVE) prior to application for Credentials. Documents are subject to DLFS review and approval.

-> Maybe the SAVE system is still showing her old maiden name, hence DMV wants the I-94 name change to match the married name?

This is an old thread about SAVE system and DMV.
