jmalelkamel got a reaction from scaredCat in Please tell me how to file TAXES (I-130 pending, spouse abroad)
Yes, married filing separately. In order to file jointly you need to obtain an ITIN number for your spouse and submit a lot of documentation which can be rather cumbersome. It's better to file MFS now and then once your spouse gets a SSN, you can amend your taxes and file MFJ. That's what we plan to do!

In the state of Tennessee you can opt to change your maiden name to your middle name when you apply for a new social security card using your certified marriage certificate as proof, I also didn’t know about it either until recently my married coworkers told me they did this - I never heard of anyone in my home state (Maryland) doing this, so I’m not sure if the requirements vary from state to state .
