salam everyone , first i want to thanks all who always reply and help in fact most of the people on here is big helper ,, so since most of us is waiting to get the visa i would love to ask about any thoughs came on the mind i think it will be useful for me and for other so here guys i want to know if you K3 and once you get your visa and went there is us .. what you need to do to get the social security card ? what papers you need to fill and how this process working out ? wish to get some answers about that , wish to all of you the best luck and this waiting time goes by so fast .

As a K-3 visa holder - when you enter the US you will need to apply to adjust status (AOS; this is necessary to obtain a PR/Green Card), along with that, you may apply for EAD (Employment Authorization) - once you have either one of those (The EAD or PR/Green Card) and a proper I.D. you can go to the nearest social security administration office and apply for the social security card .

thanks Ahmed my brother so much it's helpful thanks so much , wish all the best for you .

You are more than welcome .BTW my name is Mohamed not Ahmed !

As others said above, you must either apply for AOS and/or EAD before obtaining a Social Security number. May I suggest that you hold off on filing AOS until you have been married close to two years? If AOS is approved AFTER you've been married two years you will be granted the 10 year permanent residency instead of the two year. You can always apply for a stand alone EAD card as soon as you arrive in the US. This will enable you to work and apply for a Social Security card. The EAD should take around 3-5 months to receive.

sorry brother for the mistake to call your name wrong i'm really sorry about that ,, so here i tell you thanks so so so much Mohamed it was a great two links you gave to me , wish to hear good news from you so soon , all my best wishes for you .
