Hello, I am a 23-yr old female legal alien here in the US. who was granted asylum/refugee status under my mother about a year and a half ago. Last November, we got the OK to apply for the Greencard, which we are planning to do in a few weeks. However, about 3 years ago, I met a guy, and as of last month, we are legally married. I changed my last name to his, but now my question is should I change the name on my SS card now, or wait for the Greencard before doing that. The problem is I tried applying for financial aid at my school but was told that because I didn't change my last name on my SS card yet, the name on my school record (which is my husband's last name) doesn't match the name on my SS (which is my maiden name). So, my question is, will changing my last name on my SS affect my immigration documents in any way? Thank you.
