All,
Thanks in advance for all the help. Here is the scenerio.....

My wife entered the US as a permanent resident 3 months ago with her MARRIED name. She had been in the US before, so already had a Socal Security (SS) number assigned which is on her MAIDEN name.

Now, while in the US, she is facing a problem as the SS number assigned to her does not match the name (after marriage name)on the GC. Apparently INS has not updated their records. She was denied a Calofornia drivers license.

2 questions

1) We talked to the SS office and they said its a INS thing.

all.....what to do? Whats the process and how long is INS taking to update? Should we do something?


2) Is it an issue if she works?

please any help is apprecaited.
