K-1 visa Social Security number application denial Admission number

[Bjorn&lyne 20]

My filipina fiance has arrived in the US on her K-1 visa. We went to the Social Security office to apply for the social security number. We brought all required documents. However, she was denied to apply because her passport did not contain an I-94 arrival/departure record with an admission number. It only contains the K-1 visa and I-94 stamp with the expiration date, but NO admission number. My fiancee said she never received an Admission number when the arrived at the NYC JFK PoE, despite being interviewed and meeting two separate immigration officers. As a result, she was denied to apply for the social security number since she could not provide the required Admission number. Does anyone has similar experience? The staff at the SS office said that her admission number might be elsewhere and not in her passport. I did find a number on the approved NOA2 notice, starting with the letter A. Is that what they might be looking for in the SS office?

Did you print out the I94

The Admission Number should be first number listed there

You should only need, Her passport, Her BirthCertifacate, and I-94 print out to get SSN

I know that SS office have made many mistake regarding K1's in the past since they don't see them a lot.

I-94 is electronic now. Access it here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html

I hope the drive wasn't too long, cuz you'll have to go back after you print the I-94.

Edit: Oh & congrats on her POE!

Thanks for the advice to go online! I was able to retrieve it online, which I did not know I could do. The drive is only 15 minutes so not bad at all. We will go back again now to the SS office since we now have the Admission number.

SSA workers should know about the I-94 web site and should've advise you on it,

so that you could've just pulled it up on your smartphone right on the spot.

SSA personal have a hard enough time not knowing the procedures for issuing an SS card without trying to learn CBP procedures

hopefully someone else has written this,

but

I-94s are electronic now, can get online and see it, print it out to paper.

Do that, bring the paper into the SSA office again.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !
