Hi everyone ! I am doing paperwork for my Green card and I want to do SSN together so my question is if i donot have green card so SS officer will do SSN for me ? Thank you for helping . DND

There is absolutely no reason why you need to put a social security number on your AOS application and sorry, but the SSA will not issue you a social security number unless you have an EAD or a visa that allows you to accept employment.

We just went to the SS office today and they told us that if your visa doesn't expire for at least another month, then they will issue a SSN which will take about 2 weeks to get to you. If you have less than one month, or your visa has expired and you are waiting for the green card, you will have to wait until you get the EAD (which usually will come before the green card if you applied for it at the same time) and then you can take that to the SS office and they'll give you a SSN. Of course this could vary office to office, but this is what we were told.

It depends on the visa they have... if he is adjusting from a B2 for instance, they will not issue a social security number.

Thank you for answering and the reason I want to finish my SSN before I have green card that is I need to joint bank accounts and house ,insurance ...... with him and if i donot have SSN so the bank and the officer donot do that for me and more I want to have an evidience when I will interview for green card . Thank you for helping . DND

I don't have a SSN yet and my husband had no problem adding my name to things- and we have a joint bank account.

What visa do you have?

You might have to wait until after you file your AOS/EAD papers and recieve the EAD before you can get a SSN. You will need either the EAD or Greencard before you can get a SSN unless you arrived on a k1 visa and still have 2 weeks left before your I-94 runs out.

You know , today I and my husband went to the bank to joint bank accounts but they didnot accept that also I already have Tax number ( my husband was doing before I came here ) . By the way I am here on K3 visa and my visa will expired until July 2009 . Thank you very much . DND

I am here on a K3 and have no tax number or SSN and I was easily added to my husbands account.

Hi friend ! So tell me that how could you do it ? . Everything seem very difficult for us to joint bank accounts and everything . Thank a lots

Just hit the blue reply button and you won't have to keep starting new threads.

As for the bank account- we went to the bank- I brought my passport and ID and they added my name to the account.

Thank you for answering ! So What kind of your ID ? . Is that ID from your country where do you live before ? Thank you DND

Yes- that is the only ID I have.

Thank you for answering ! i will do again next week . Thank you very much for helping . Good night my friend . DND

There are definitely a few duplications

Some banks will need to have a SSN before they will add you. You will need to file either EAD on its own filing under A-9 or file the AOS along with EAD filing C-9 before you can get one.

The guides on here at the top of the page will help.

It's 14 days from the date your status expires, not a month and that even applies if you apply before that date and it passes while waiting for status verification.
