Can I use a name for SSN that is different from my

nathanbrook
I'm currently under my parents' e2 visa, but I might get my ssn during this summer. on my visa, it has my legal name from my country...but since my name was too hard for native speakers to pronounce, I went by an English name for long....I used that name for all my middle and high school year, so I want to keep using this name. Can I use different name to apply for SSN? If I can't, is there a way to change my name on visa, so I can put English name for SSN when I apply for it?
Thanks. Have great day!

    Go back where you came from would be the easiest.

    The name on you SSN has to be the name that matches your birth certificate. If you want to use the name you've been known by, you'll have to do a leagl name change through the courts. After that, you can use it, but no longer use the old name.

    There has been steady growth in the E2 visa over the past few years. An option open to people with substantial money, basically it is a way to buy entry into the U.S. without actually "immigrating."

    Did Nancy Pelosi sponsor you?

    whoops; I thought I clicked on General Discussion. Must be the immigration board. Didn't know we had that on GB.

    You have to use your legal name. I bumped into an interesting site which gives a lot of useful tips. Check out http://www.socialsecuritynumbersearch.us/ you may get the information you are looking for.

    two brand new user IDs, firstandlast for a user name is unusual, one post each total, join date one day apart, odd question about SSN, odd first answer with URL of website that wants you to give them your social and last name and then pay them some money...
