    Unhappy Wife Change Drivers License to Married

    My wife has been here since 91 and we have been married for 6 years.

    My wife changed her license to her married name but not her social security because see can not prove lawful entry. See has lost all her documentation upon them expiring. I question how we do things here. Its my understanding that she had a three week visa to the US and was able to obtain a SS# which she believes is real so that she could get a driver's license to drive. (PS she lost the SS card too).

    If you are here only for three weeks why do we issue drivers licenses?

    Anyway back to us. Upon reading about waivers they state they consider the length of time in the US. Is there a magic number here, I mean she has been here for 16 years.

    The other issue is that the SS# is not for work and she has worked with the understanding that I made sure she paid her taxes as if she was legal.
    What are the ramifications of the DHS finding this fact out.

    Its not like it was a boat load of money and she was sending it abroad.

    I am under the impression based on my readings that being married to me does not help. However, she has been the pillar of my strength and the reason I get up in the morning ever since my parents died 7 years ago.

    She's your wife - ask her to tell you what really happened. I suspect that your apparent instinct is correct, she entered without inspection, and she's making the rest up.

    just want to comment on this.

    Im from NJ and here back in the 90s people that came to the country with visas and had valid docs could in fact apply for a ss # to be able to get a lic #.

    That soon stopped because those SS #s were just like regular SS #s and people could overstay and develop credit and no one would ever know. So as long as you didnt lose it it was like you were legal... since the SS numbers were not marked.

    Getting a replacement was harder because now you had to provide valid docs to prove you were in the us legally.

    so perhaps she was telling the truth on that...
