Are we on the right track?

My fiance arrived to the USA in January. Two weeks later he applied for a SS#. The reason we filed so quickly for the SS# is because we were told that in order to get a marriage license we both need a SS# and a photo ID. However, if we married without him having his SS# he would have to sign an Affidavit stating that 1) he does not have a SS# and 2) he is not elgible to receive one. Obviously #2 does not apply to him since he arrived on a K1 Visa. Anyway, exactly one month after applying he went back to the local office and was told that they just received his information today and should be receiving a card in two weeks. This coming Wed. will be two weeks. Is it normally this long?

The reason I am pushing the SS# is so that we can move on with the remainder of the process. Without a SS# he can't get a Drivers License, be able to apply for papers to work (his POE did not issue temporary work papers), nor apply for enrollment in the community college. So many things are tied into this one #.

This whole process is frustrating. Are we on the right track?

Perfect. You are doing it well! And yes sometimes they don't have the data to verify in their system (Its called the 'SAVE' system I think.) Once you have the SSN - its his forever. All you will need to do - way down the line - is to remove restrictions after you get the Green card. Good Luck
