I-94

[Sam/Crystal 0]

Our I-94 expired on Oct. 7th 2008 and we were married within the time frame (Oct. 4th). We went in to get our social security card before we were married but it was too close to the date it would expire so they told us to come back after we got married, which we did but they still didnt issue a card. The guy said we need to get a new I-94 in order to file for a social card. Is this required, do we have to order a new form from USCIS for $320? I thought i read in here somewhere that I-94's cant be renewed. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I know, SS office basically don't issue SSN when I-94 is 14 days before it's expiration. I dunno if we can renew the form.

Might as well you want to file AOS?

Good Luck!

You now need a approved EAD or Green card to get the SS card.

You can't 'renew' an I-94 - at this point you will need to wait until you get the green card or the EAD (if you applied for one) then reapply for the Social Security Card/Number.

You just saved me a heart attack. I didnt' even know you COULD apply for that before your I-94 expired and had a mini-panic that the window had closed.

We filed for our EAD, guess we'll have to wait.

K1 visa holders do not need EAD or Green Card to get a Social Security card. Nick got his in the mail 3 weeks after entering the country.

Yes only if you follow the rules, but if you are after 76 days from when you entered you become ineligible.... As a K-1 visa holder the eligibility window is very defined.
