my wife just got to the states after getting her K3. I haven't applied for AOS yet, but will be in a couple of months but wanted her to join my medical insurance at work.

I see that the work permit I-765 is $340, shes not going to be working. I just need a SS# for the purpose of putting her on my medical at work.

Is there a way around not paying the $340 fee and getting work permit (I-765 form)? what are my choices?

Thanks.

You don't need to AOS or file an I-765 to get a SSN, they're not related.

Go to your nearest SS office about 2 weeks after her arrival, to give her time to show up in the system. Take the required documents and you should get her card in a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately Sundrop's answer is not correct for K3. K3 visa holders nead EAD or a green card to get an SSN. Many company insurance providers will allow your spouse to be covered without an SSN, provided they can show they never had one and do not yet qualify. Some will not. Make sure you ask the specific question.
