Quick update. My case for EAD changed to New Card Is Being Produced today. Not sure when I will have the physic card on hand. I-485 stays remain "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview".
Hang in there, folks!

Nope, it's not a scam. It's actually an email from USCIS.

Your  marriage certificate does not have to say your choice of names after marriage. Many states don’t. If you are SUE BROWN and your certificate says you married JAMES BOND, then it is perfectly alright to call yourself SUE BOND as soon as you are pronounced married. Bam! Your name is changed and that piece of paper is your proof. You can’t make up some new name out of the blue like Sue Waterloo because there is no reference of that name on your marriage certificate, but using the surname BROWN or BOND is ok. You can go introduce yourself as Sue Bond and get your bank account as Sue Bond because you have a paper that says you married JAMES BOND.  He can add you to his health insurance as SUE BOND or a credit card. It’s legal. 
 
As a K1, you entered with a Sue Brown passport and visa. That is the name USCIS has in their SAVE database for you.
As a K1, you have 76 days to get a SSN. It will have to be in the name on your visa because that’s how you entered. USCIS is stricter about names because it’s an immigration process. You checked in as as unmarried Sue Brown so your first SSN has to match USCIS records. If you missed that window because of closures, then your next chance for a SSN  is when you get the EAD card. 
 
You applied for AOS/EAD/AP as SUE BROWN (maiden). As you have learned you could have filled out all the forms as SUE BOND (married) and supplied the marriage certificate that shows you married Mr. BOND. But you didn’t so you are on track to get AOS/EAD/AP cards in the maiden name. And furthermore that will remain your USCIS immigrant listing in the SAVE database, so your Social Security card and driver’s license will have to match. This is because you are an immigrant and SS and DMVs have to check your immigration status and match. 
 
NOW if you manage to change your immigration applications before those are issued and get SUE BOND on them, as soon as those are issued, the USCIS changes you in the SAVE database from Sue Brown the K1 visa girl to Sue Bond the permanent resident greencard person. Then the DMV and Social Security would look you up and find Sue BOND and issue your SSN and license the same. It’s like you moved up a step in the immigration ladder so have a revised listing in the SAVE database.
 
Those are all strictly tied to immigration but you can still be Sue Bond (married)  at Starbucks or at the gym or on a credit card. Use of a name is not a set in stone one day it changes. It’s kinda flexible except in the immigration world. 
 
So I hope this helps your confusion. Mostly I wanted you to understate why on your current track you will,not be able to get a SSN or driver license in your married name unless somebody there just doesn’t know the rules. I don’t know how to accomplish fixing your mistake on the applications in mid-process. You may be stuck until after greencard and have to pay to change. That in itself can take ages.

Your “fiancé” cheated on you and got pregnant. And you’re sticking around ? 
 
 
wow...

FINALLY!!! I GOT THE RECEIPT NUMBER FOR MY DAUGHTER'S APPLICATION.

So, once again, base on taximan683's experience and mine, this is what should be done:
 
1. For K1:
- I-485: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Dependent.
- I-864: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Family Member
- I-944: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Household Member
 
2. For K2:
- I-485: K2 as Derivative Applicant and K1 as Principal Applicant
- I-864: K2 as Principal Applicant and K1 as Family Member
- I-944: K2 as Principal Applicant and K1 as Household Member
 
Goodluck to all of us!

Have you heard about Covid 19?  

Thanks for letting me know.
I manage to try my luck with the same thing 2 weeks ago. Now, hopefully to get NOA1 too.
 
Good luck to both of us!!!!

Hold on, let make it clear:
 
1. For K1:
- I-485: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Dependent.
- I-864: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Family Member
- I-944: K1 as Principal Applicant and K2 as Household Member
 
2. For K2:
- I-485: K2 as Derivative Applicant and K1 as Principal Applicant
- I-864: K2 as Principal Applicant and K1 as Family Member
- I-944: K2 as Principal Applicant and K1 as Household Member
 
Base on my experience with 2 rejections and taximan683's experience, this could be the correct thing to do currently.

Bluee, I got my NOA1 (receipts) yesterday. I finally got both K1 and K2 accepted. So, they accepted my K2 I-864 with the K2 as the principle applicant and the K1 as family member. From my reading of the instructions over and over, I felt sure that putting the K2 as principle was wrong and I expected to get a rejection again. I'm hesitant to say that it was the correct thing to do, maybe they finally had mercy on me. I hope you get accepted on your next try. Let me know what happens. Good luck!

Just send it in with a copy of the i485 receipt notice as proof is submission
