Hi everyone,

I am on a K-1 visa. 2 Days after I got here, we went to the Social Security Office to get me a number. That was June 17. After 2 months, they still could not provide me with one! We even had to drop by their office - AGAIN, 2 weeks ago, because they needed photocopies of the documents (passport, I-94, and visa) we provided the first time I went there, because apparently they could not locate them anymore.. They say they're sending it out to DHS (?) because they could not verify me through their system, and they've already sent it out and still waiting for a response, then they would call me back to let me know..

It's really frustrating because it's been almost 2 months and this was THE VERY FIRST THING we did for my AOS since I got here, and we've been wed, got the I-693 completed, and just waiting for our marriage license and then supposedly GOOD TO GO to submit my AOS.. Question is, DO I NEED TO WAIT FOR MY SSN BEFORE SENDING OUT THE PAPERS? I know the required forms for K1 Adjustment of Status say 'IF ANY', but I just wanted to make sure... Don't wanna have to send the AOS and then receive an RFE because of that..

PLEASE HELP.. If I can do anything, call another government sector to expedite my SSN or what, please let me know..

Thanks in advance to those who give out their advice :)

You do not need a SSN to apply for AOS. Go ahead and send it out.

This is why it is suggested that a person wait 2 weeks to apply for a SSN, because it takes that long to show up in their system. Without that time, they will need to do manual verification which can take a long time. Don't worry though, hopefully they will get it to you now, and if not, there are other opportunities to get the number once you have your EAD or your GC. Good luck.
