Default Re: drivers licence, legal status question

And, if you've gotten married before you apply for your SSN, apply in your maiden name (or whatever pre-marriage surname you used for your visa application) without mentioning that you've gotten married. Then change your name with the SSA either when you apply for adjustment of status or after your application for adjustment has been approved. (I vote for after, 1 less visit to the SSA and you'll be wanting to update your status after you've adjusted anyway.)

Regards, JEff
