Hey guys,

I'm not totally sure what to do so I thought I would post here. My wife came here on a K-1 on September 3rd. We filed for Social Security number on September 18th, 15 days after. When we filed for SSN, they told us they couldn't verify her info and it had to go into additional processing, taking 4-5 weeks.

We were married on October 10th. We still have not heard anything back at all from Social Security. We are going to file her complete I-864 packet next week, but there are multiple areas asking for a Social Security number. Not only have we not gotten it, but if we receive it now, we need to inform them of the name change.

So I am worried about leaving the SSN# area blank on the I-864 etc while we have an open and still unresolved application pending for one.

Should we go to the SSN office and explain everything, and see what they say? I tried to call them but it just rings forever. It's been about 5 weeks now and I'm really annoyed with how long something so easy and normal has taken.

If we go back, would we be able to re-apply or something with the new last name? The last time we went, the man spelled her name incorrectly, and then fixed it, and said it still needed advanced processing. He then gave us a letter which explained we needed to wait 4-5 weeks, and her name was misspelled again on there...

What should we do? We definitely want to send out the I-864 filing as soon as we can...

Thanks.

Does anything during the I-864 process apply her for a SSN if she hasn't already done that or writes NONE? Or is that completely separate? If somehow the I-864 process applies for a SSN for her, and we already have a pending application, I thought it might create a mess.

And also, will not yet having a SSN interfere with the EAD application, or is EAD and SSN not linked like that?

A SSN application is totally separate from AOS. Put "NONE". It will not cause a problem and it will not create a mess.
