UNBELIEVABLE SSA WORKERS

Oh, about the document that states that you are indeed still a K-1 after marriage...there is none, that's why they cant arrive at that asinine judgment. If they can't verify it, it doesn't exist.

We ran into the same problems and this exact suggestion worked for us...

Suggest that you go and visit another office and take the wedding ring off your finger and neglect to tell them that you are married...

They said that you're now a K-3? What a load of BS. You should have asked them for a new American visa, if that was the case. Go back and ask for a manager or go to another office. You are a K-1, you are whatever is on your visa, only the state department could change that, and they never would. As long as you have not sent anything to USCIS, you are a K-1. Iquit has a point, something does need to be done about the SSA'a.

This happened on Social Security Administration Office in Delray Beach,Florida.

If you had been a K3, there would have been a K3 visa in your passport, not a non-immigrant one showing clearly K1 as your status. It seems that some SSA workers misinterpret the very few existing documents underlying the possibility that a K1 should obtain a SSN. I for one was told, while at the SSA office that if I was within the period of 76 days of my entry to the States, validity of I-94 respectively, then I could return to them to apply for a name change on the card without having to show them a previously approved DHS document (EAD, for example). The certified copy of my marriage certificate + passport with I-94 and birth certificate would have been enough and they really were enough. It is true that I had requested a SSN before my marriage and that I had got it, but there are other persons here on the forum that went to the SSA right after marriage, asked for a SSC in their married name and received it - while, of course, their I-94 was still valid. Since your SSC application was rejected, since you visited a second office and were told the same thing, I suggest you apply for AOS, EAD/AP in your married name and when you obtain either of them (pretty fast lately), you re-apply for a SSC. God bless!

Well I'll scratch that office off my list and head to Pompano instead! thanks...

I applied for my SSN the day after I got to the US, of course I wasn't in the system yet, but they told me they would generate my number once I was verified.

The next day we got married and I went there with the marriage certificate to get my name changed so my SScard would havemy new name on it.

No problems at all, since the application was done before the wedding.

I went early because I needed a SSN for my military ID card.

Well, I didn't get it that day, like expected, so the military issued me a temp SSN, but once I had my own number, I got a new ID with the correct SSN.

I don't know why so many people wait with the SSN after their wedding!? I followed the guide from visajourney and had no trouble whatsoever.

VJ rocks!!;-)

If people don't say at which SSA this stuff is happening it will never be corrected. So if an SSA office comes off with some BS you know is wrong please say where it happend, i.e. City, State and street if there is more than one SSA office in the area

Over and out.
