I wish I had done that. I am fighting for my name change with SSA.  I can not work and have lost a good job offer because of it and will likely never be able to work for that company. I will head back to teh SSA office for the third time to try and change it If I can't I might just give up entirely until I get a GC in a year or so.

Oh noo!! So sorry to hear that! What was their reason for not wanting to change it? I thought you could with your EAD!

I suggest you go to a different SSA office. it also happened to me today when i went there and the lady doesn’t want to accept my request and told me its not allowed. so what i did was took another number and waited in line again and the gentleman who assisted me did the name change without any questions. i just showed him my EAD and original marriage certificate and thats it.

Sometimes the agents don't know the proper procedures not only at the SSA but also at the dmv/rmv. One person may allow something and another won't. But as far as I know you just need to produce  ID, marriage cert. with either ead, GC or naturalization cert for name change. There is a section on the SSA webpage outlining what's needed to make adjustments I'll see if i can find it and attach it here. Maybe you can print it out and take it with you to show them

This is the only one near me. lol And they had no problem doing it for me or so I thought but this was 7 weeks ago now and I have heard nada. I am gonna go back Monday after my dentist appointment and try again. I am just upset because I lost a job and likely all chance of ever working for that company thanks to this.

Thing is the guy took my stuff and said we will have to verify you first and that will take up to 4 weeks. Well 7 weeks have passed. I will just go again and again and again if I have to. I have no job to worry about.

Well, I finally got to submit a service request a week ago (thank god I didn’t wait  because the processing times changed again!) and there hasn’t been an updated date on my 765 but I just got a text and an email saying that there’s been an update on my 485, they sent a Request for Initial Evidence on July 5th. I wonder what they’re requesting for... at least it’s something, right?

 

188 days and counting.

I got the same thing!!!! I’m January 18th, San Diego as well. And it says it was scheduled July 2nd. It almost looks like it’s a bug or a mistake lol. Should I believe it???? Too good to be true??? How long do you think it’s gonna take before they actually schedule it??

Well it says it was scheduled so I I'm gonna take that as the noa is on its way! Well I dont even wanna think abt a bug right now i just wanna stay positive that our date is coming soon dwl! For months I've had the user defined error and till my aos number didn't even didnt appear on the old site anymore and now its there with a scheduled interview they also updated my ead as approved, in production, mailed, and card delivered which is why i do not think its a bug becuz i did get the ead last week! So think positive thoughts 😁 oh and btw the dhs now gives me error message 🙄

So I  checked the old USIS website and it shows my interview was sheduled on July 2nd ( I’m San Diego office) for those of you who have gotten letters of interview schedule, how long did it take between the message and the notice and how far apart was the interview scheduled, like how much time in advanced? 

This is amazing news! But I had a trip planned in August, I did not expect my interview this soon, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to cancel it and sit still for the notice!
