WHEN to apply for SS Card???? Too late?

[123456789 0]

My fiance arrived on a K1 visa and we got married a few weeks ago. His 90 days have expired, but the USCIS informed me that it was NOT critical to send the paperwork in before the 90 days were up. I will be sending in the forms soon, about 4 months since his arrival date. Anyway, I am confused as to whether he was supposed to apply for a SSN or whether he should wait until his work authorization papers arrive in the next few months (I will be sending in this application with the AOS paperwork). The G-325A asks for the SSN, so did we mess up by not already applying for one? Thanks.

Hi there it's ok if your husband don't have his SSN yet when you submit the AOS application. SInce most dont have it at that time( Like me) just talking in general..ANyways you can apply for SSN when he have his EAD card. Goodluck to us

You don't need the SS# for the AOS application. He will need it to work though, so once he receives his work permit (EAD) or the Green Card, which ever one comes first, go to the Social Security office to get one. He won't be able to get one sooner than that since the 90 days are expired.

Edit: On the forms where it asks for SS# just put "none"

A K-1 must apply for a SSN sometime between day 1 and day 76 after arrival...

On applying for a SSN he will need his I-94 which I believe expires within 90 days from his entry to US. Your husband will not be able to get a SSN if his 90 days have already expired. Anyways, it's not necessary for your husband to have his SSN for AOS Application. He can apply for it once he have his EAD which will establish his legal presence here in the US.
