Hi all, I am a J-1, recently got married and have filed my i130, i485, i131 and i765. When I got married, I changed my last name to match his. My understanding is I need to first update my social security to match the new name, then my drivers license, passsport, DS2019, banks etc. However, I've been adviced to wait on the social security because once I have the greencard I will need another new one to remove the NOT VALID WITHOUT DHS APPROVAL mark. From what I've read, you can't update your drivers license to a new name unless it matches your social security.... So what is the order here?

 

Thanks in advance!
