Hi All,

Background info: My wife came to the U.S. on a K-1 visa last year and we subsequently got married. We applied for a social security card right away (prior to marriage), but due to incompetent employees at our local office, they never issued us a card. They told us to wait 4 weeks originally and then that turned to 6 weeks. By the time we were finally able to return to the office to get it sorted out, we needed to do the application all over again and at that point it was too late as our I-94/K-1 was too close to the expiration date. I realize that we'll need to wait for the EAD to file again. We applied for adjustment of status, EAD and AP last month. Is it at all possible to file a joint tax return without her having a social security number? Thanks in advance!

My suggestion would be to wait a little to file for taxes i mean the deadline for filing taxes is April and the EAD and AP comes before the Green Card check out the timelines on visa journey

Yeah my wife and I are in the same boat since we married in December and I have to file married filing jointly for the tax year.

We'll be going to a taxpayer assistance center to file the return with the form W-7 (for the ITIN) as it looks like you have to provide original documentation along with the form. We'll be using her passport for that. Lucky for us there's one right down the road from where we live. :dancing:
