You should have done this, you should have applied first with a maiden name showing the SSA a valid passport with attached I-94 with 14days allowance before expiring then after the wedding you went back again to SSA and apply for a name change showing them the marriage certificate. Thats what I did. No problem with my application for SS#.

Simple, no hassle.

Good for you. In my case I didn't get anything from USCIS regarding my AOS application. No letter of that kind. And imagine I applied February of this year.

I think that's a good sign that your case has been viewed by them.Just wait patiently.

I think it's fine to file even you're outside the US, but you still need to show them your ITR for at least 1 year here in the US, and some evidence.

best of luck !

In our case, we had it after our marriage.. the last name of my husband appears in our marriage certificate. the marriage certiicate was also mailed when we applied for AOS.

best of luck !

Hi, sorry to hear that !

Well, here's the thing.. First, and foremost before you leave the Philippines you undergone CFO seminar, right? On that seminar, you were told that in an incidence that you were battered, abused verbally or any forms, report it immeditely to any "womens shelter" in your place.You should have research about woman shelter that you can run into, they will help you for sure. Then if you are still in the process of your immigration papers, I think the US government gives a proper dealing with your case, if it were proven you were "abused" they will grant you a continuation with the process even without the sponsor/petitioner you will still be qualified. Of course, I think it needs money to work on it. That's why you need to work. Secondly, the CFO seminar said that the best thing to do if the said incedence happened is to go back to the Phillipines, why dwell on a situation that you don't deserve. You deserve better than that! Your family is back home, waiting for you. A place where you will be cared, loved.

Good luck! I hope everythings be okay with you!

One more thing, with the divorced thing. If your husand is applying he will pay for everything. But if you will apply for it here in California I'm telling you it's not that expensive. You don't need a lawyer for a divorce, just go to the court and they will tell you what to do, they have law student interns that will assist you with the paper works, etc.. If your husband will not sign your Divorce paper it's still okay but it will take awhile for it to be finish. And then, you can ask for spousal support anyways.

Good luck !
