My wife arrived in the US and we got married in January 2006. When she arrived we got her SS card with her maiden name on it, and when we returned to the SSA office to change her name they said it was not possible until she completed AOS. I have verified this at ssa.gov.
A couple of weeks ago, we (finally) received notice of her AOS interview to be on April 24, 2007. With this being after the tax deadline (and USCIS certain to ask to see 2006 tax return at the interview), I decided to get my return done right away. After doing this, I went to file electronically and the tax return was rejected by IRS with the message that her name on the return (married name) does not match her name on the SS card (maiden name).
So here is the summary: 1) We cannot change her maiden name on the SS card without completing AOS; 2) We cannot file our 2006 tax return without her maiden name being changed to married name on the SS card; and 3) I am guessing that USCIS will not approve AOS without my 2006 tax return.
Any advice on how to proceed???
I am considering:
1) Ask for filing extension on 2006 tax return and explain why at AOS interview
2) Try to file tax return by mail and explain to them why her name is different on the SS card and tax return
3) Change tax filing status to filing separate (would probably lose some of tax refund but maybe make situation easier)
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer.

Sorry that I wasn't clear. There was no RFE in the mail box (see subject line) just a very unexpected appointment notice.

No updates on the USCIS web site, no e-mails, no CSC transfer notice and then the dreaded RFE in the mailbox today? Interview April 19th!

Anyone have experience or advice with taking a child from a K1 marriage to an AOS interview? Good idea or should we get a baby sitter?

You can file for a extension on your taxes as long as you pay what is due. That might give you enough time to get a social security number. The second option would be to file your taxes and then send in an amended return with you and your social security number on it. You might want to ask a CPA if these would work.

You can use UPS but the I-485 instructions have a different address to send it to than USPS.

Checks cashied on the 24th so the clock is ticking. So I guess USPS isn't real time with its delivery confirmation like UPS is.

I sent my I-485 package by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation from Seattle on January 16th. Nothing in USPS website about being delvered yet and my checks have not been cashed. This is the 9th day and that seems to be on the long side after checking all the timelines. Anyone else have the same problem?

I had in my notes that I would need to send in 2 copies of some things. Photos excluded, are two copies needed for anything?
-
Would I need to send a birth certificate of our baby that was born in the USA after we were married and my wife was here on a K-1 visa? Can't find it anywhere in all the associated I-485 forms but just want to make sure.

Thanks much.

My I-131 form is done except I don't know what is ment by line 1. A#. Is it some type of authorization number?
-
Thanks for the input and ideas.
