    Unhappy Last Name Change for Spouse

    Hi, Me & My wife are from India and we already had SSNs when we visit US last time. My wife's SSN has her maiden name. Now for some reasons, I would like to change my wife's last name in her passport in India to my surname which usually happens after Marriage.

    1) Will there be any problems if we travel again to USA with her new name (changed last name) ?

    2) Can we able to update her name in SSN ? If so, what all documents required ? Do we have to keep records for her old passport with maiden name ?

    3) We do hold marriage certificate. Does our marriage certificate should have her maiden name or married name ?

    Any suggestions are appreciable to resolve my problems. Thanks in advance.

    Can you explain more because a SSN has nothing to do with travel and visiting the USA. Travel would require having a passport and a valid method of being admitted through US immigration. A social security number won't get you in the country.

    Default Change of lastname and traveling back to US

    Hi
    I and my gf (USC) are planning to get married in a couple of months and apply for I130 and I485 application. After getting my green card we are planning to fly to India for a wedding celebration. My gf currently has a India Visitors Visa.

    Is it safe to travel, after I get my Green Card, back to the US without changing her last name and adding myself as her spouse in her US passport? If not, what kind of India visa will she apply after she gets her new passport with my name as spouse?

    Pl respond.
