Thank you for all the replies! Quite the difference in opinion. I called the SS office and they said all they need is marriage certificate, application, and passport....and that they don't want the GC because she needs to have it on her. I think we will be able to change her SS card changed and then we will file ROC with new name. Thanks for the help!
Due to covid and difficulty with SSN, we opted to keep my wife's maiden name on her employment authorization, advanced parole, and adjustment of status application. Green card approved, all is well, but now we have the momumental task of changing her name. Marriage certificate is the only document with name changed thus far. We are struggling to decide when to put the blitz on the rest. I know we would start with SSN, but then would we have to file something with USCIS to get a new green card? That seems like a pain and likely expensive. Should we wait to do all of this until we apply to remove conditions? get new SSN right before and then apply in new name?
There is also the issue of our unborn child. I'm sure it won't be too difficult, but will we run into problems with our baby's birth certificate if all we have to prove is our marriage certificate?
