Hello All. I'm trying to apply for my fiancee's SSN card using the form SS-5. My fiancee's POE was on 02/02/08 with K1 Visa. I have a question regarding #3 on the form:

3. Citizenship (Check One)

U.S. Citizen, Legal Alien Allowed To Work, Legal Alien Not Allowed To Work, or Other.

I'm not sure which box to check. Please advise.

Thanks,
Ken

Legal alien allowed to work.

Thank you Tracy!

You don't even need to complete the SS-5 when applying in person. The SSA office will enter your info into the computer and printout an application for you to sign.

C. Policy - Types of Applications

An SSN application can be the Form SS-5, the Internet version Form SS-5, or the systems-generated application which collects the same information from the applicant as is obtained on the paper Form SS-5. While any of these formats are acceptable, you must use the systems-generated application whenever the proper applicant remains in the office throughout the interview and input process.
