Thank you so much for this! I take it that you went ahead and got married and applied for AOS without the social security number?

 

We got the license to marry and will wait a few more days for the SSN. In the meantime I am trying to get through USCIS Tier 2 officers and see if they can fix the problem🙌🏻.

I wanted to get the SSN for my fiancé so he’s able to get his drivers license with not too much of a hassle. 

Of course, you're welcome!

You can get married without the SSN! And you can also apply for AOS. I had the same doubts but some research clarified that. 

The website of the marriage bureau where we married stated that a SSN was required for both spouses, but when we went to get the license we explained we were having problems with the SSA and the Clerk's assistant told us that foreign nationals can use their passport and are not required to have a SSN. It's supposed to be a rule that applies nation-wide. 

 

I think the driver's license requirements vary state by state, but I'm not really sure. I live in FL and I will not be able to apply for a FL driver's license until I receive the EAD. It will have a 1-year validity. I could have applied for one right away, but the validity would have been based on the I-94, and that would have been a real useless hassle as it takes months to the DMV to verify and issue. Plus, I have to wait the EAD anyways as I will be issued a SSN concurrently. 

Try to call your state's DMV to ask what their requirements are!

I believe you can apply for your driver's license after you get your NOA1.

Can anyone help with the list for K1 AOS and EAD?  We want to make certain as a K1 we dont miss anything in our package. I have found online outlines but it's so daunting wondering if we have overlooked anything. What has everyone submitted in their package?

Everyone list is different depending on what is needed, however, this is MY checklist; however, I deleted things that are based on things privy to our case. This is the mandatory requirement list. I would recommend that you review the instructions for each form so you know what required evidence is needed.
