My wife got her two year GC a month and a half ago. Today she went to get the VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION off her Social Security card. Her current Social Security Card is in her married name.

The Social Security Office refused to process her application, claiming they need to see her marriage certificate. #######!!! They saw it when they issued the card she has now.

My wife said the guy she talked to seemed distracted - he was talking on his cell phone while looking over her application. I told her she should have asked for a supervisor.

What name is on the I-551 card?

She had her green card with her. I think the guy she was talking to thought she wanted a name change.

I'm a bit pissed that she had to waste an hour of her time and the person at the Social Security Office didn't even have the decency to give her his full attention.

My wife's married name is on the green card and her passport was amended at the Embassy of the Philippines last year to reflect the name change. That wasn't good enough for the guy. Sounds like he was on a bit of a power trip.

If the same name is on her current SSN record and I-551 card that guy didn't know what he was doing. She just needs proof of identity and work authorization and the I-551 card does both. I would have started yelling for the office manager.

I guess it is the same as with any government office - sometimes you get people who are really helpful, other times you get a**holes!

I would get back down there and ask to speak to the same person - put them right on what is required and tell them that you expect to have their full attention this time and for them to refrain from taking calls on a cellphone! If he does the same again, just sit there, patiently, but smile as you tell him that when he has finished his call you would like to speak with his supervisor!

Our journey started in 2001 and it's still not over. It's been a rollercoaster ride all the way! Let me off - I wanna be sick!
