I'm aware that there is an instruction page for this on VJ but I don't understand what category I use for K1 and my daughters K2.

Thanks ?

Use the VJ example form for help http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-765.pdf

In the form instructions, it's this one on page 5 because it is accompanying your AOS application.

7. EAD Applicants Who Have Filed for Adjustment of Status

A. Adjustment Applicant--(c )(9). File Form I-765 with a copy of the receipt notice or other evidence that your Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is pending. You may file Form I-765 together with your Form I-485

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thanks for the advice.

I haven't received my SSN as of yet so am I right in thinking I'm not able to change my surname to my married name without that?

We want to file AOS in my married name but the local social security office have said my application could take up to 4 weeks and we aren't sure how long we're able to leave filing AOS.

If necessary then we will just file in my maiden name and pay the fee to change the green card in the future.

Thanks

You can use the married name from the day you marry. It's your name. Use it. File for AOS in the married name. Introduce yourself with that name. Tell the bank it's your name.

SSN name is a separate issue and is not a requirement in order to file AOS. Fix it later when you have a greencard.

That's great, we weren't sure if we had to go to the court to change my name legally beforehand.

Thanks again

Marriage is a legal way to change your name without going to court. Your marriage certificate is proof. It will take a while to get your name changed in all places, but you definitely want it on your greencard if that is the name you want to go by forever and ever. To change a greencard name costs about $400.

You can still travel on a maiden name passport with a married name greencard. Take the marriage certificate along to answer any questions that might come up.
