hello everyone!!

i will need some help!! :help: i came to New Jersey on 2 july and we get married on september 14.

we did the first part of the process(visa k1)with "help" of an attorney....it wasn´t much help at all,took days to replay my emails when i have doubts about filling the forms,send me the wrong form filled by my fiance :bonk: (thank God i realized his mistake before interview and ask for the rigth form but have to wait for he email me again when the days run fastand i need to send my package!)it was a pain in the a@s!ha ha..more than help us stress us more cause as i was waiting for answers that never come,i have to read a lot myself when we hire a lawyer to not deal with all that!!anyway....took a lot of money,time and more stress than if we do it ourselves!

soooooooooo......

we decide to do the second part (AOS)without him.(we dont have that much money that they ask,and we are not satisfied with his work)

NOW ...HERE COMES THE PROBLEM!!

since i came here we been dealing with a lot of stress: looking for a place to live ,moving from my husband´s mom house,then he got a new job ,so we married like two weeks before my visa expires....in a hurry ,and no money to party(anyway we are planning a nice wedding in Las Vegas...in the future! :dance: )

so once we are done with all that,i said ok...now we are married,time to start the AOS...(getting ready for another traumatic set of pappers!!ha ha!!and this time,with no help!!:o).....

and....

i found out that i should get my SS# before my I-90 expires!!(at that time i didnt even know what I-90 was!!)and...it was already expired!! :crying:

(29 september )so my question is?can i get it anyway?with my marriage certificate?or is too late??? :wacko:

(it sucks cause we were told that we should start to worry about papper work after we get married!)

so if you can tell me what i should do...i will really appreciate your help!! :help:

thanks!:)

You had unitl two weeks before the I-94 expired to apply for a SSC. Now you will have to wait for the EAD or GC in order to apply for a SSC. SSA will not give you a SSC now that you are out of status. More waiting I am sorry to say.

I agree with Dave&Roza, this is too late for now. Look at the VJ Guide about getting a SSN, it is explained: http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn

Follow the VJ guide to prepare your AOS package: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

This is very well explained and will help you save some stress and money!

I suggest that you prepare form I-765 as well (EAD= temporary work authorization) and form I-131 (AP=temporary travel authorization) with your AOS. Fees for these forms are waived when filed with the AOS form (I-485) and they both should be approved in 2-3 months. As soon as you get your EAD card, you will be able to go to a SS office with it + your passport/visa + marriage certificate and request a SS number.

Edit: File all those forms with your new married last name if that's the name you want to use now.

It's really not a wait for anything, because at this stage, the SSN will not help you very much. You can't work or anything until you get an EAD (free with AOS as explained above), so the only thing the SSN does is allow you to get on some bank accounts and the like. You can file for AOS without the SSN and you can apply for the SSN once you get your EAD. It's really not too big a deal.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

You're welcome. Each USCIS form has instructions. Example: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3faf2c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Read them so you know how to complete the form and which documents to include with. The VJ guide contains a checklist but reading the USCIS instructions is highly good to do as they are official.

Those instructions + the AOS VJ guide should answer to 95% of the questions you may have. If your case is pretty "simple", I would say you can find the last 5% by doing a quick search on the Google bar on VJ. Good luck. :)

Where in Jersey do you and your husband live?

There is an SS office in Jersey off of the 66. You can go there and see if you can get more info. Also, have your husband talk to his bank, they may be able to open the accounts with just your passport and valid visa.

Also, have your husband add you as a authorized user, at the very least, to his credit cards. This way you will have your own cards and have that to show at the interview at least. Have him add you to his medical benefits, as the beneficiary to his life/ADD insurance or 401K. A big thing is to start getting some mail in both of your names going to your home. Electric/Gas bills etc.

Adding a line for you on his cell phone account is another easy win.

I live in Jersey too! Just waiting for the wife...

So? you just tell the truth, that you didn't get an SSN in time. It's really not a big deal. Chances are you won't have an interview anyway.
