Nope, you didnt. I don't think so. I actually hated that I applied for SSN first. For some reason our office here is not familiar with the process even if the first time I went there, I specified that it is under K1 (its not everyday they have to process K1. Had to go back to the office after waiting over a month to talk to another officer and stressed again that its a K1 process-got it a week later. I also wanted to change my name when I went there,bringing with me my marriage cert but they said NO-I didn't wanna argue with them anymore. So I would need to go back there again once I get my GC or EAD card to change my name. 

 

This delayed my AOS filing I have to wait for my actual SSN to arrive so I can put my SSN nos in the forms.

I applied my K2's SSN thru EAD, btw.

you've been through a lot  . I feel like i am in a dark room and don't know what to do

Do you have health insurance now though because you got your SSN?

yep we applied immediately after our wedding. I was just added under my husbands insurance.They did send a letter though that they need my SSN.

It took us a while to reply, plus my son doesn't have his yet. Turned out ok. We've actually used it already

I enclosed this in my mail @Drillerone . I grouped the forms with their corresponding support documents. Just make sure you go to USCIS website for the updated forms.

I may have overdone the supporting documents for Form 1-864, but I just submitted everything I have. Hope this makes filling those forms up easier for you!

What is the Form I-131 I looked for it in google it says Application for Travel Document... did you submit all of these forms all at once?

yep. I actually remember how relieved I was after we finally sent our application. It hasnt been long since we just applied last month but it actually feels like a distant memory already...hahaha

It'll get better.

See that's good! 

If you are unable to get HI because you failed to obtain your SSN before marriage that's a pretty big issue. 

Not only will the foreign spouse not be covered (and that could be dangerous) but also the health mandate is still in affect for 2018. 

When the USC goes to file their taxes as married filing jointly for 2018 (because you need to do that as a requirement to prove your marriage is bonafide at the interview), they will be penalized for the foreign spouse not having health insurance. That cost in 2018 is $685 per adult or 2.5% of the total income reported, whichever is greater.

Still think it's a good idea to wait until after marriage and the EAD approval to get that SSN....?

I wouldnt bother to go to the SSA. You wont be able to apply in your married name as it does not match the name on your I94 or passport.

You can apply for the SSN using your maiden name.

how's everything for you? is there any progress yet? I am still completing the form I-864 (affidavit of support) and kinda confusing about the part where it is asking for the Sponsor's Household

 

Do I put 1 into Number 3 or just leave it blank? Coz we are married already

You're welcome!

PS if you have yet to file AOS you might want to join the January 2019 AOS Filers group. 

It will be more current for the process you are going through with filling out the AOS documents. While it's good to be in here for research, it might not be of much help as everyone in here is unactively just waiting as we filed in Oct 2018.
