AOS and SS card

[NJ93 6]

We applied for AOS I-485 and we received receipts for forms, I-797, I-766 and employment. I forget the number for that one. Can we use these receipts to apply for a SS card? If not what do we need to wait for

Thanks

You can apply for a SS card with your visa, I-94, and marriage certificate.

If you rI-94 has less than two weeks left of validity, then you need to wait for your EAD or GC card to get the SSN.

The I 94 expired. After the receipt of the AOS papers, any idea how long it will be to get those required docs? Thanks.

I tried to apply for my SS card with all that you mentioned but was denied, I was told to come back once I had my Green Card. I tried to argue my point by telling her as a K1 as long as my I-94 had 2 weeks left (at the time it had over a month) I was good but she didn't seem to want to hear it. She told me as I had showed her my marriage certificate that I was no longer considered a K1.

I looked here on visa journey and seems like some are approved while others are denied, it could be that this might vary from state to state.

Interesting.

We applied for my wife SS card before we got married. Then returned after our marriage with the certificate to apply for a new card with her new name.

Looks like this is another one of the cases of YMMV related to immigration.

OP,

Since you stated the I-94 is expired then wait for EAD card. Usually it takes between 60 - 90 days (72 days average according to current VJ timelines).

Thanks all! This is great info.

What??! This is ridiculous. If you still have time left before the 2 week deadline, go back to your local office and demand to speak to a supervisor. The fact that you got married HAS NO EFFECT on your right to get a SSN through a K1 visa.
