My fiance had an SSN, do we need to put that info on the G325A??

Hi all, I'm new! Just starting this long, long process.

I met my fiance when he was in the US five years ago going to school. He got a job while he was here on his student visa and thus got a Social Security Number and card. They're not technically valid anymore since he left in July 2003 and hasn't been authorized to work in the States for any other reason since then. But I'm just wondering if any of you have come across a situation like this and whether or not you listed their old SSN on the forms? I hear SSN's pretty much stay with you for life so he'd be in the system with that number. I just don't want the USCIS thinking he's already somehow authorized to work here when he obviously is not.

The other issue with this is that he lost the information and card (haha) and he thinks it's somewhere buried in a file at his parents house, but if we can't find it, we're not sure there's any way TO find it short of me calling up the Social Security Administration (would they even give me the number since it's not MY number?).

Anyway, this is becoming increasingly more confusing-sounding but my main question is:

1. Do we need to put his old SSN on the G-325A form?

And if so,

2. Does anyone know how we might obtain this information if he can't find it?

Much, much thanks. My brain feels like it's about to explode trying to figure out all this paperwork!

You are wrong, SSN is issued to a person for LIFE, it is always valid, if your fiancee has the number, then enter it on the forms where it asks for it.

This is one less step to do when your fiancee eventualy enters the USA on K-1, wont need to apply for SSN, if misplaced the card, can apply for a replacement card after entry on K-1

That's kind of what I was thinking. Now I've just got to get him to find the darn number...

Thanks!

You should put the SSN, I have a SSN and worked with authorization while I was in USA (I studied). I had no problems, no RFE, nothing and I got the visa.....it's better to put everything, they will find out eventually....good luck!!!
