Hi there !

My dears a new concern - i dont have a SSN yet and on the tax return forms it says enter both SSN nr . Thing is i dont think i will get it anytime soon as they sent my papers to Buffalo :wacko: NY and we are in the waiting game ( we did got back to them and another guy there told us that we should wait for the SSN card in the mail in about 3 weeks , yeah right :angry: )

Now my concerns are can we still file jointly for tax returns ? :hehe:

Yes last month with a K-1 visa and we got married ,ofcourse the SSN workers are brain dead and didnt issued me a SSN -cause of the name change even i told them that i haven't changed my name and that the marriage certificate states no name change .

So they sent my papers to NY for DHS clearence which means it can take alot of time till i get anything in the mail .

anyway i think what i have to do is getting an INIT nr from IRS with form W7 - which is a tax payers identification nr for those who cannot get SSN yet . :thumbs:

But unfortunately if you qualify for SSN card and u applied for one u cannot file for w-7 until u get the denial letter for SSN services in the mail or something . So it's so messy and complicated .

You can also file for an extension or file married filing separately and later amend it.

Yes, and taxes are not due until the middle of April, so she will most likely have her SSN before then.

i say go back to ssa office, apply in VISA name and have the prior SS-5 yanked by a supervisor.

You can fix the name change after the EAD card is in hand.

There's no USCIS document as of yet containing yer married name, so you'll never get the DHS/USCIS verification in time to be issue a SSN.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Thanks Darnell :) That's exactly what i'll do i'll wait 2 more weeks as promised till i am "supposed "to get my SSN card and if that's not in my mail box by then i'll hit the ssn office again and ask for a supervisor to yank the first application and issue me a card on my maiden name :):thumbs: hopefully the supervisor will know his job better then the employees there as i asked for a card on my maiden name and the employee there said it's illegal as i am married now :angry:
