K1 applying for SSN

[matrixIII 0]

On the VJ instruction I read that I need the following to apply for a SSN

1. The SS-5 form you downloaded and filled out (they have some at the office if you forget).

2. your Passport (with the K-1 Visa in it)

3. your valid I-94

4. another form of valid ID (as defined in the SS-5 instructions)

5. You should also bring the document RM 10211.530 that you printed out

My question is about #4 above. If the beneficiary has only arrived a few days ago.. whats considered "another form of valid ID"?

Thanks

Birth certificate should do it for you. Make sure you have a notarized tranlsation and the original with you.

She also has a foreign drivers license/id. We will take both. Hopefully one will work.

Also, it says "its advisable to wait 2 weeks before applying for SSN so that the user is in their System".. is that really true or is that an old statement?

Moving from AOS Process to the SSN section.

This is hit and miss. There are a few that went in the next day and were successful in getting the SSC. Others have waited several weeks and still have problems. You can go in and if they can't find the information in the system, just thank them and leave. DO NOT have them issue a request with the USCIS as that takes more time then waiting a week or two and trying again--I would let them do the request at the 6 week point. You have unitl 2 weeks before your I-94 expires to get a SSN using the K-1. After that it takes the EAD or GC.

Good luck,

Dave

That's really true. If they don't find you logged in the system yet, they will tell you to come back.
