You honestly should have gone in person or called.

If you read the website all state/county websites say SSN on them for marriage licenses. BUT that is not the case if you call or go in person. They just take passport and birth certificate.

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.

Most suggest that you wait 2 weeks after arrival. Take your passport, K-1 visa and I-94 card with you along with a second form of ID like your birthcertificate (just in case, they never looked at ours). Fill out the SS-5 while you wait. Go up and ask for a SSC. The beneficiary is "a legal alien authorized to work" on the SS-5. IF they give you any grief, ask for a supervisor. If that gets you no where LEAVE. Goto their website and e-mail them with all the details of your encounter (try to get names and times while you are there) and then you will go back armed with an e-mail from the head office. K-1's are eligible for a SSN but some SSA employees do not tknow that and will give you lots of grief.

As far as Texas requiring a SSN, I do not know, but Colorad does state a SSN is required but that is old information and it is now NOT required. I think they ask for it and if you do not have one you cannot give it to them.

Good luck as the SSN is either very painless or a royal PITA.

Hey, I got married in Texas last august and I didn't have a social security number. You only need your passport to get a marriage license from the court house.

I got married after I have been here for 2 weeks. You just need to bring your passport with K1 visa and I-94. First, you need to apply for marriage license in order to get marriage certificate. You need to make appointment with the minister for your ceremony but not for applying license .

It was just easy to get a SS number. We went down to the local SS office and they took care of us quickly.
