Just wanted to double check this.

Our current plan is to apply for the SS two weeks after POE with just passport and I-94. No EAD card since we used the K1 for entry.

Just curious if I'm missing anything. Thanks! :)

You should have no problems!!

If it was only that easy for everyone. The SSN will not be assigned until the immigration status has been verified. If it can be done while you are in the office as I assume happened in your case, you should have your card within 14 days, and can go back to the office normally the next day if you need to know the number before the card arrives. If they can't verify your status while you are in the office, the next step is a secondary electronic verification request. The response to that normally comes back within a week. If the response is that immigration wants to see your I-94, a photocopy of the front and back of the card is mailed with form G-845. That could take another month. These are the time frames if the office does what they are supposed to do on time. It going to be up to you to keep on top of things if more verification is needed.

Thanks for your replies everyone!! :)

For the birth certificate, did you have your copy, or does the one that we gave in the interview get back to us eventually?

The Japanese birth certificate needed a translation that cost over $150. I hope we don't have to do that again!! :unsure:

If an acceptable evidence document is in a language other than English and no other acceptable document is available, SSA will have the foreign language document translated by an authorized translator.

SSA translators comprise two groups:

-- Field office and Payment Center employees who volunteer their

services as translators

-- Central Translation Section translators who hold actual translator

positions.

For someone who already got their green card in hand, is birth certificate really needed to apply for SSN ?

I thought your foreign passport and green card should be enough.

If a foreign-born person has the foreign birth certificate in his/her possession or can easily obtain a copy, he or she must submit it as proof of age. In some situations, SSA can accept alternative evidence of age. The alternative evidence of age may be less than a year old, for example, a foreign passport.

You can find links to detailed information regarding evidence that establishes age on the SSA Web site:
