Me, my Fiancee, and her Son, Moved to the US November 7th, 2006 on a K1/K2 Visas. We have applied for my Fiancee's Social Security Number, and it is processing now. I have some questions about what we should do next (based on the K-1 flowchart).

1) How do we get a Social Security number for my Fiancee's Son, so he can open a bank account, and get a drivers license when he turns 16 (he is 15 and is in the US on a K2)? From what I understand, he needs a (EAD/i-765), but it is a catch 22 because he is not old enough to work. How is this resolved?

2) I am also worried about his status when his I-94 expires, will he be able to stay in the US based on his Mother's immigration status (his Mom and I will be married of course before either of their I-94s expire).

3) In step 17 of the K1 Process Flowchart it says "Apply for marriage certificate." does this mean a marriage license in your county of residence, or is there some other "federal marriage certificate" or something else that I am not aware of.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I know I should probably make an assumption for my 3rd question, but I have misunderstood/overlooked very important details in the past and I just want to make sure that is not the situation with this.

Thank you, j and e

Living in NE Romania with Fiance and her Son.

3-27-2006 I-129F Sent : to Nebraska Service Center

4-12-2006 I-129F NOA1 :

6-1-2006 Touched sort of...... sent to CSC (California Service Center) like many others

6-14-2006 CSC emailed me a notice of receipt of my 129f (transfered from NSC)

6-17-2006 Touched

7-3-2006 IMBRA RFE received at home

7-5-2006 Mailed IMBRA RFE back, Also my file was touched for the first time since 6-17

7-13-2006 Received email that IMBRA RFE was received by CSC

7-14-2006 Touched

8-10-2006 I-129F NOA2 APPROVED !!! (no touches before approval, as many have spoke of)

9-08-2006 NVC case approved:

: I started calling the NVC automated line about 2 weeks after NOA2. They never had any information for me or acknoledged that they received our case, so I sent an email to the NVC on 9-01-2006. On 9-08-2006 I received a reply to that email saying that our case was processed and forwarded to the US Embassy (Romania) on 8-31-2006. They also included the case number in the reply to my email inquiry. I guess I would have not been notified by the NVC..... very strange.

9-6-2006 Romanian Embassy received our K1 paperwork.

9-11-2006 Received packet 3 in the mail

10-11-2006 Set appointment for interview by calling the Romanian Embassy !!! ONLY SET AN APPOINTMENT AFTER HAVE ALL DOCMUMENTS ARE COMPLETE !!!

Not until he has green card can he get SS Number.
2) I am also worried about his status when his I-94 expires, will he be able to stay in the US based on his Mother's immigration status (his Mom and I will be married of course before either of their I-94s expire).
File for adjustment of status as soon as possible
3) In step 17 of the K1 Process Flowchart it says "Apply for marriage certificate." does this mean a marriage license in your county of residence, or is there some other "federal marriage certificate" or something else that I am not aware of.
You apply for marriage license , then get the certificate after marriage. you need to send a copy of the certificate along with the rest of the Adjustment of status paper work.

You are putting the cart before the horse. First you will need to get married. Then you will adjust status. Until you get married your fiance and her son are non-immigrant visas

2) I am also worried about his status when his I-94 expires, will he be able to stay in the US based on his Mother's immigration status (his Mom and I will be married of course before either of their I-94s expire).

If you marry before there I-94 expires you will just start the change of status process

3) In step 17 of the K1 Process Flowchart it says "Apply for marriage certificate." does this mean a marriage license in your county of residence, or is there some other "federal marriage certificate" or something else that I am not aware of.

In most states: you apply for a marriage license, then you get married, the person who married you files your marriage license with the county and then a marriage certificate is issued (the issuing of the license, depending on the county/state can sometimes take a few weeks to issue and "official" certificate

Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I know I should probably make an assumption for my 3rd question, but I have misunderstood/overlooked very important details in the past and I just want to make sure that is not the situation with this.

Thank you, j and e

Patience is required for this process.

You can either pay for the EAD for you step son or wait till he gets his Green Card.

If he gets the EAD, he can get his SSN. Otherwise he will wait till his AOS is approved before he can apply for the SSN.

All really depends on if you want to pay for an EAD just to get a SSN or not.
