I have read a few times that when your fiancee' arrives in the U.S., you are to get her a Social Security card ASAP and not even wait a few weeks until you are married. Why? Why the urgency??? Also we have run into this problem with the Manila airport. For some foul reason, these fools need to know WHO paid for the plane ticket. WHY do they care WHO paid for the ticket? What and WHY do they need to know? Answers???

Some states require you to have an SSN to get a marriage license. Actually you should wait a couple of weeks to go to the SSA, if you go to soon there is a good chance her name and information won't be in the SAVE system. She'll need an SSN for her AOS and AP/EAD. I think we waited about 3 weeks. No urgency.

No idea about the about the airfare.

They need to make sure that the ticket is being paid for by authorized funds. If you paid for the ticket ( USC) you may need to go to a local airport that has the same airlines or a partner airline and show your ID ( and the credit card you used ) They have been burned badly in the past by fake cards being used and the money being denied after the person flies.

Sometimes all the traveler needs is a copy of the credit card (front and back) and the ID of the card holder, usually front and back Drivers license or passport.

I'd like to edit my comment from before to add that if you wait to get an SSN and her I-94 is within two weeks of expiring they will not issue one. You will have to wait for EAD or Green Card to go back.

If you get the ssn before the wedding, you have to march back to the ss office and change her name, we waited until after the wedding to get the ssn, it was easy.

As for the the Manila airport, I booked the ticket for my fiancee online I think it was expedia? There was no issues at all, she went through the airport without a hitch.

My husband booked my flight through Expedia too (for my K-1) and all I brought to the airport was the printout of the receipt and itinerary and I didn't have any problems. They just checked my passport and made sure I had my visa packet.

Did she fly Philippine Airlines? I only experience this with PAL, asking for a photocopy of the credit card and ID.

Don't know what USC is???? No, we booked through Contenental Airlines (owned by United Airlines) and she can check in online. Might have her do that and avoid all the nonsense. She can go ahead and get her boarding pass that way.

USC = US Citizen

SSN after 10 days because getting it in your married name sometimes doesn't work. You need the SSN to do many things (like go on spouses health insurance etc) and some people don't like having to wait months because their local SSA won't let them get it after marriage in the married name. It's better to get in maiden and then change it to married later. Esp for instance at this time because taxes can be filed soon and without a SSN you need to get an ITIN.

You need a SSN to do almost anything in the US, and it takes a certain amount of time to process, so getting one asap simplifies matters. After you're married you go back to the Social Security office and change your name if it's necessary. As a woman, I have two cards with my number on them - one in my maiden name, and one issued a few months later in my married one.
