Hello all!

We are in the process of filing out the forms for AOS. My wife and step son arrived in the United States on June 2nd and we got married June 7th. My question is are we too late to apply for a social security card? Do we need to wait for my wife to receive her AOS before we can file for the social security card? I read that K1 visa holders are able to receive a SS number, but once married this all changes, the K1 is no longer valid. What are your thoughts?

Thank You in advance!

I got my SSN card in married name after getting married.

I entered married a few days later and applied right after the marriage and got my card in the mail a few weeks later.

Brought my marriage cert and passport with K-1 visa.

I had downloaded and filled out the forms before I went in to save time.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

I am a Citizen of the United States of America. 04/16/13

Thank You in advance!

As long as there is at least 2 weeks left on the I-94 she is still eligible for the SSN HOWEVER, some SSA offices will try and tell you that by marrying you are now a K3 which isn't SSN eligible. This is complete ####### but they MAY try and pull that stunt.

You have nothing to lose by going to try

You do not need the SSN for the AOS/EAD application.

If the SSA fails to give you the SSN she can get it once she gets her EAD.

Wait until two or three weeks of arrival and then go apply for the SSN. Marriage does not factor into this.

The SS card will be stamped (Able to Work with DHS Authorization) which means once she receives the GC, then she can go back to the SSA office and have them reissue the card without that.
