  1. As you can see in the screenshot attached that we filled SSN information in this manner. My question is that after landing in US, will my husband have to go to the office of Social security to get his SSN or will the Social Security number be automatically sent to us since we filled out DS260 in the manner below?
  2. Hi! Will be arriving soon with K1 visa, and a little bit unsure about what is currently the best and fastest way to go about with the SSN and the I-485. We are not changing our names, and want to apply as soon as possible after marriage. So, my question is, do you think it would it be possible to submit I-485 without SSN on the form, even though it's on it's way its way? To potentially save a week or two or three. Has anyone done this? Or should we wait for the SSN before submitting I-485 regardless, alternatively not apply for SSN separately but instead request it with the I-485 to be able to submit asap? I would prefer having an SSN, to make life easier while waiting off course.. At the time of handling, the form would be incorrect, as I have been issued SSN, even though at the time of submitting, it would be correct, as it's not yet issued. Or am I missing something completely with the I-485 and SSN process? Appreciate your help
  3. Preparation: Download the Following Forms: 1. Application for a Social Security Card (SS-5) 2. I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (K-2, K-3, and K-4 Visa Holders Only) The above forms can be filled out on your computer and printed. Make sure you sign and date it as required. Anything you cannot fit by typing, you can handwrite after you print it (very neatly) in black ink instead. Print the following webpage out (K-1 Visa Holder Only😞 >> RM 10211.530 Find your local Social Security Agency (SSA) Office: Click here to Find your SSA Office Reminder: On the visa application Form DS-230, you saw the following offer: "Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to question 43b ("Consent To Disclosure") to receive an SSN and/or card." Please note that this program is ONLY for Immigrant Visa holders (CR-1, etc). If you checked this box, a Social Security number will NOT be generated for you if you are a K-visa holder. As a K-visa holder, use the following guide to get your first, or replacement, Social Security number/card. If you have ever had a Social Security number, that is your number for life; you will need to visit your SSA office to get new card with the same number. The Application Process: :: For K1 Visa Holders :: As a K-1 Visa Holder you are eligible to receive a SSN upon producing a valid I-94 (unexpired). Do not wait until you only have a few weeks left until your I-94 expires to file for a SSN. Many SSA offices will not allow you to file for a SSN if your I-94 is about to expire (generally 14 days prior to the expiration on your I-94). On the other hand, you should also not file for a SSN too soon either. You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. If you go too soon your record of arrival will not be in the SAVE-ASVI system yet, and it will require manual verification from the USCIS. As this will add weeks to the period it takes to process the SSN, it is advisable to attempt to wait the two weeks to be safe. If you have waited the 2 weeks and they tell you they can not verify you arrival record via the SAVE database, you may allow them to to process it (but remember the potential delay for manual verifications). You can ask if they will check the computer again for you in a few days or return personally to have them look again -- thus eliminating the manual verification. The manual verification will require the SSA office to file a G-845 with the USCIS. To apply for a SSN you will need to go to your local SSA office and bring the documents below. These documents are proof of your eligibility to file for a SSN: 1. The SS-5 form you downloaded and filled out (they have some at the office if you forget). 2. your Passport (with the K-1 Visa in it) 3. your valid I-94: Electronic I-94 Copy; or (for older entries) an original (and bring a front/backside copy) of a valid paper I-94 4. another form of valid ID (as defined in the SS-5 instructions) 5. You should also bring the document RM 10211.530 that you printed out Make sure to bring all the documents above because some offices have staff that are not aware that a K-1 Visa Holder is eligible to file for a SSN. A friendly reminder is a nice thing to have -- if not you could be turned away incorrectly. Once you have successfully applied for your SSN, the SSN card will come in the mail in about 2 weeks. You can check on the status of the SSN application and/or often get the SSN in advance by returning in person (try calling) to the SSA office. If you need your SSN before it arrives in the mail you may ask them for an SSA-7028, Notice to Third Party of Social Security Number Assignments, to be sent to your employer or other interested third party once a SSN has been assigned. Your card, when you receive it, will be marked with the words "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work. :: For K2, K3, K4 Visa Holders :: As a holder of a K2, K3 or K4 visa you must first have an EAD from the USCIS. You will be required to show this to the SSA agency to be eligible to receive a SSN. To apply for a SSN you will need to go to your local SSA office and bring: 1. The SS-5 form you downloaded and filled out (they have some at the office if you forget). 2. Passport (with the K-2, K-3, or K-4 Visa in it) 3. your valid I-94: Electronic I-94 Copy; or (for older entries) an original (and bring a front/backside copy) of a valid paper I-94 4. another form of valid ID (as defined in the SS-5 instructions) 5. A valid EAD Only persons age 12 and older must apply in person. A derivitive visa beneficiary (K2 for example) may elect to have their parent (the K1 for example) apply on their behalf (they will still need all the required documents). The SSA will most likely need to verify the validity of the EAD and will make a copy to send to the USCIS as part of the SSN processing. Once they verify the EAD you will receive your SSN card in the mail. You can check on the status of your SSN application and/or often get the SSN in advance by returning in person to the SSA office. If you need your SSN before it arrives in the mail you may ask them for an SSA-7028, Notice to Third Party of Social Security Number Assignments, to be sent to your employer or other interested third party once a SSN has been assigned. Your card, when you receive it, will be marked with the words "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work.
  4. Good morning all, Hope you are all well! I have a few questions that I cannot find concrete info. for. 1) My fiancée and I got married within the 90 day period. However, we did not apply for a social security number due to covid and since then, her i-94 has expired. What are our options now in order to get her a social security number which we need for various reasons (I assume it will be one that says "not valid for employment" which is fine.) Is there a way to get her a new i-94 or an extension at our USCIS office? 2) We have filed her AOS for the Greencard, but she would like to work in the meantime. Would it make sense to file the i-765 for employment? I did some research and some places mention that by the time she gets her work authorization permit, her Greencard will be approved. Is this true? 3) In some forms, it asks what her current immigration status is. She initially entered on a K1, but since we are now married, what would her status be? Do I still put K1 or do I put AOS - adjustment of status? Thanks in advance. Cheers!
  5. Hello, My husband arrived on a K-1 visa in April - we are currently trying to complete his adjustment of status paperwork. After arriving in the USA, we applied for a SS# - getting an appointment was delayed because of COVID and his application was submitted May 12th. I called this morning and his SS# application is still in administrative processing and it has been for 4 weeks now. Can we go ahead and submit his adjustment of status and EAD (I785) paperwork with a pending SS#? He will have been in the USA 2 months this week. Thank you!
