Denied SS# and Drivers liscense

[april 0]

We applied several weeks ago for a social securtiy number for my husband. We recently received a letter stating that a SS# would not be issued to him at this moment because they found no evidence that he needed one right now. Do we need to have the EAD or green card before a SS# can be issued?

Also, today we went to get my husband's drivers liscense. He passed the written portion last month and today we could get the actual liscense. We are having problems with his last name because it is De Freitas and on his K1 visa, the De was not put in front of Freitas. It was put behind his middle first and middle name and not carried to the above line and put in front of Freitas. The lady told us that she would put it into the computer into the "Safe system" which will approve the name or not. It was not approved therefore the approval must come from one of the USCIS offices which can take 5-7days. Is this a normal occurance? What do we do?

Well from the look of it your husband entered on a k1 visa.. could you give us a little more information on your timeline.. ie how long has he been here, when you married etc.. Is he still within the 90 day limit on his K1? have you filed AOS yet?

I am not very familiar with k1 but I thought you could apply for a ssn before your marriage not sure other than that but for everyone else yes you do need either EAD or Greencard to get one.

alot of states need a ssn before they will issue a dl.

If you are talking about SSA not being about to verify his status through SAVE due to his name being misspelled, yes that's a normally occurring thing. If they told you 5 to 7 days, you either heard them wrong or you went to one of the office doing the pilot electronic verification. Normally, that takes at least 2 or three weeks.

About all he can do at this point is keep going back to the SSA office with his documents to ask if the verification has been completed and after 30 days have them send another request.

K-1 can get a SS card with in the 90 days of the Visa.

And if here on K-1 look here and print out and bring to SS office, sometimes they need to be reminded of their own directives.

As for our timeline, my husand entered the US on July 12 with his K1 visa. We were married on August 5th. I filed for AOS of September 15. From all that I had read, we should be able to receive a social security number at this point. We have a biometrics appt tomorrow and I will ask them what we should do.

If he arrived on July the 12th don't waste your time going to an SSA office until he has an EAD card.

[kim&james 0]

yep agree with mdyoung... you will now have to wait for the EAD

[Miranda&James 8]

You should have applied shortly after he got here, the K1 (in it's 90 day frame here) is what gives you the first ability for SSN. Filing AOS does not, you have to wait for the EAD or greencard, whichever comes first (usually EAD).

when my husband arrived on his K1, somehow they put him into the "system" (whatever system ssa uses from immigration) as entering on a tourist visa rather than his K1 and would not issue him a social security card. they told us the same, we'd have to wait for his EAD. But we still contacted our Congressman's office because of that and other random annoying problems from immigration, they've been pretty helpful...

good luck!

As far as getting an SSN without an EAD card after the I-94 is expired or within 14 days of expiring contact congressman or senator is also a waste of time.

20 CFR Part 422 Section 422.104 Who can be assigned a social security number.

a) Persons eligible for SSN assignment. We can assign you a social security number if you meet the evidence requirements in §422.107 and you are:

(1) A United States citizen; or

(2) An alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence or under other authority of law permitting you to work in the United States (§422.105 describes how we determine if a nonimmigrant alien is permitted to work in the United States); or

(3) An alien who cannot provide evidence of alien status showing lawful admission to the U.S., or an alien with evidence of lawful admission but without authority to work in the U.S., if the evidence described in §422.107(e) does not exist, but only for a valid nonwork reason...

http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/422/422-0105.htm

422.105 Presumption of authority of nonimmigrant alien to engage in employment.

a) General rule. Except as provided in paragraph (B) of this section, if you are a nonimmigrant alien, we will presume that you have permission to engage in employment if you present a Form I-94 issued by the Department of Homeland Security that reflects a classification permitting work. (See 8 CFR 274a.12 for Form I-94 classifications.) If you have not been issued a Form I-94, or if your Form I-94 does not reflect a classification permitting work, you must submit a current document authorized by the Department of Homeland Security that verifies authorization to work has been granted e.g., an employment authorization document, to enable SSA to issue an SSN card that is valid for work.

Go apply and don't worry about the form. They will print out the info at the office and have her sign it that the info is correct and as long as the I-94 showing K-1 status is not expired or within 14 days of expiring she is "Legal Alien Allowed to Work" for SSN purposes.

An individual with K-1 status applying for a work authorized SSN must present evidence to establish his or her age, identity and current lawful employment authorized status.

An individual needs to provide at least two documents as evidence to establish age, identity and current lawful employment authorized status.

SSA will not assign an SSN or issue a card to an individual that is within 14 days of his or her alien status expiring. Until the 76th day after entry an individual with K-1 status only needs to provide an unexpired I-94 showing current K-1 status to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes.

B. PROCEDURE - ANSWER TO ITEM 3

2. Legal Alien Allowed to Work

The applicant should check this block if he/she alleges to be a lawfully admitted alien with work authorization.

Once, an individual with K-1 status has been in the United States 76 days he or she will need another document, i.e. I-551, I-688B or I-766 to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes.

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203410

Suggest that individuals apply for a corrected SSN card to update the SSN record when there has been a name change due to marriage.

Only the marriage document is needed if it meets the following criteria:

-- The new name can be derived from the marriage document, i.e. bride

takes the groom’s last name, groom takes bride’s last name, compound

name (with or without hyphen) of each spouse’s original name for

either or both parties.

-- The marriage occurred within the past two years

-- The marriage document shows sufficient identifying information

(e.g., biographical data such as age, date of birth or parent's

names), and

-- The identifying information matches the information on his/her

Social Security number (Numident) record.

The applicant will need to submit an identity document in the old name along with the marriage document if:

-- The marriage occurred within the last two years and has biographical

Information, e.g., age, date of birth or parent's names which does

not match our records, e.g., the SSN record.

-- The marriage occurred within the last two years, but does not show

biographical information, or

-- The marriage occurred over two years ago (with or without

biographical information.

The identity document used to establish the old name must match the name on the current SSN record. The identity document is acceptable even if over two years old or expired.

When issuing immigration documents, the Department of State and Department of Homeland Security issue them in the person’s legal name. The legal name is also generally the name in which the foreign passport was issued.

When an alien applies for an SSN card, SSA presumes the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change, e.g., marriage, that occurred after the immigration document was issued.

This is in addition to proof of current lawful employment authorized status.

You can find detailed information regarding changing SSN record (Numident) data on the SSA Website at:

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203210

http://tinyurl.com/f7s8l

When requesting an SSN card, the documents presented, as evidence must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. SSA will not accept uncertified or notarized photocopies as evidence.

“If the applicant has no immediate need for the SSN and the translation can be done promptly or the foreign language document is the only evidence available; have the document translated by an authorized translator and use the document as evidence.”

“If the applicant has a pressing need for an SSN, and evidence other than the foreign language document is available; request other evidence and process the application without the foreign language document.”

If a foreign-born person has the foreign birth certificate (BC) in his/her possession or can easily obtain a copy, he or she must submit it as proof of age. When a person is foreign-born, a BC may not exist, may not have been recorded shortly after birth, or the probative value of the document may not be high. In these situations, SSA can accept alternative evidence of age in order of probative value. The alternative evidence of age may be less than a year old, e.g., a DHS document or passport.

You can find detailed information regarding evidence that establishes age on the SSA Website at:

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203110

The documents acceptable as evidence of identity are now based on three factors: (1) the applicant’s age, (2) the applicant’s citizenship/alien status, and (3) the relative probative value of documents.

Any document used to establish identity must meet the following criteria:

-- The document provides information the reviewer can compare with the

data on the form SS-5 (e.g., the person's name, as well as age, date

of birth, or parents' names) and/or

-- The document provides information the reviewer can compare with the

applicant (e.g., physical description, photograph).

NOTE: A non-picture identity document should have the person's name as well as information that can be compared to the SSN record, the applicant or other documents submitted (e.g., age, date of birth, or parents' names).

However, the acceptability of an identity document must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the office processing the application, taking into consideration the applicant's situation and exploring what evidence is available for the person.

You can find detailed information regarding evidence that

establishes identity on the SSA Website at:

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203200#E6

SSA will not accept an application filing receipt or notice of action as proof of current lawful employment authorized status.

Take the required documents, to the nearest Social Security office. Individuals age 12 or older applying for an original SSN and card must apply in person at one of our offices.

You can obtain the address and directions to the nearest Social Security office from the Social Security Office Locator, which is available on the Internet at:

http://www.ssa.gov/locator

Normally, an SSN card should be received in the mail within two weeks after the application and document(s) have been received and verified.

When an alien requests an SSN or replacement/corrected SSN card, SSA will verify his or her documents and current status with the appropriate Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. If verification is not available through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, SSA will send Form G-845 for manual verification.

RM 00203.720 Verifying Immigration Documents:

http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203720

Note: If the applicant has changed his/her name after an immigration document, i.e. I-94, was issued, e.g., married and is now using the married name, but has not obtained a corrected immigration document showing the new name; this is not a name discrepancy for enumeration purposes, i.e. SAVE clearance, if the applicant can provide an acceptable legal name change document to establish the new name.

The 14 day status expiration limit for assigning an SSN and/or issuing a card applies even if an individual submitted his or her application before being within the 14 day period and entered the 14 day period while waiting for his or her status to be verified.

If the SSA office does send the G-845, suggest that you go back to the SSA office no more that once week with your documents to (1) ask them to check SAVE again (2) ask if they sent a G-845 (3) if yes, did it come back (4) after 30 days ask if they have followed up on the G-845 by calling or sending another mark “second request.”

Step 6

DHS should respond to SSA within 15 federal work days after receiving the Form G-845. If DHS does not respond within 15 federal work days from the receipt of the G-845 from SSA, follow-up with the DHS, USCIS Immigration Status office. (Allow 15 days plus five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS. Follow local practice to follow-up with DHS.

Some SSA offices have an arrangement with the DHS, USCIS office to telephone for the follow-up contact; other SSA offices send a copy of the original G-845 annotated “second request.”) If the DHS response is still not received within 15 federal work days after the follow-up contact (if the follow-up is by mail allow five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS), make a second follow-up contact. If the DHS response is not received within 15 federal workdays (again, if the follow-up is by mail, allow five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS), after two follow-ups, contact the Regional Office (RO). Also report to the RO any trend that shows a serious deviation by DHS from the above time frames. The RO will consult with central office.

All cards are mailed from Social Security Headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland to the postal address provided on the Form SS-5.

Sorry about PM

We applied several weeks ago for a social securtiy number for my husband. We recently received a letter stating that a SS# would not be issued to him at this moment because they found no evidence that he needed one right now. Do we need to have the EAD or green card before a SS# can be issued?

Also, today we went to get my husband's drivers liscense. He passed the written portion last month and today we could get the actual liscense. We are having problems with his last name because it is De Freitas and on his K1 visa, the De was not put in front of Freitas. It was put behind his middle first and middle name and not carried to the above line and put in front of Freitas. The lady told us that she would put it into the computer into the "Safe system" which will approve the name or not. It was not approved therefore the approval must come from one of the USCIS offices which can take 5-7days. Is this a normal occurance? What do we do?

[/quot

I went to Soc. Sec. Office before being married with my Passport showing my K1 Visa, I94 and a Birth Certificate, and 1 week after I received my SSN by post to my house. Ask if they have somebody that speaks Spanish, in LA it is very common last names De ... Del... so that Spanish (Latin) person looking at your passport and Birth Certificate I guess she/he will do it for you. Not sure but dont lose trying.

Then after married I went again with my marriage certificate for doing a new SSC with my married name.

Thenk after I went for my Driver License, and a not nice woman screamed to us, because my passport and S SC had different names(single and married) and said that I can not get my driver license until I change my name in my passport so I simply "thank you very much lady" and I asked to other person there again the same, and this 2nd person was very nice and let me get my driver license which I received that same day. Sometimes it is about trying again with other person with more gains to help.

Thenk after I went for my Driver License, and a not nice woman screamed to us, because my passport and S SC had different names(single and married) and said that I can not get my driver license until I change my name in my passport so I simply "thank you very much lady" and I asked to other person there again the same, and this 2nd person was very nice and let me get my driver license which I received that same day. Sometimes it is about trying again with other person with more gains to help.

Once again if he arrived as a K-1 in July I don't care if everyone in the office speaks Spanish, he now needs an EAD card or I-551 to be assigned an SSN, and contacting the mayor, governor, Pope or his mother is not going to get him an SSN without an EAD or I-551. Case closed.
