Today I went asking for my SSN. After 3 hours of waiting, I can finally go and apply with the person in the office. He starts putting all my information in and then goes: "I have to take a copy of all your documents because there is something wrong with your immigration status". Does somebody know how I can check that or what it can mean? I am a K1 still in my 90 days. I'll file my AOS next week. My i-94 says K1, my visa says K1. All what I have is fine. I can only imagine that some employee put in the wrong thing. The officer at POE didn't really know that much about the K1 visa and maybe he got mistaken. But now, I am put behind for my drivers license, my health insurance, bank accounts... If I wouldn't have gone for my SSN, I would have not know about this...

it could be that they have to get the go ahead from the SSA in Virginia. Usually as a K-1 holder you end up in manual verification. It might take a few days and then they will issue you your SS#. It happened to us and we got SS# in 4 weeks after applying

You would need at least 14 days of validity remaining on your I-94 to be able to apply just as a K-1 without an EAD or green card, also.

They say it to everybody, myself included. Took copies, gave me a letter that they need to verify my immigration status. 10 days later and about a week before my i-94 expired, I got a letter that they could not issue me a SSN at this time.  I know a lot of people succeed in this, but some don't. We are in a tricky situation since we are not eligible to work hence our SSN eligibility is under question. It's a case by case luck.

What did you do then? As you can't get to a drivers license and other things. Can you only apply after you got your green card then?

I was able to get everything but driver's license. My husband just drives me around for now :D

 

Bank account, insurance etc - possible without SSN. So if you applied for EAD and advance travel parole along with your AOS application, you had a checkbox to receive SSN together with EAD card. if you didn't check it, you can apply once you have your EAD. If you didn't apply for that, you can get one once you receive your GC

Let's hope that 1) I misunderstood and nothing is wrong with my immigration status, it's just the checking thing that they do for everyone and 2) I do get my SSN. But if I wouldn't, then I'll let my man drive me around too. Stupid actually because now, I guess I am allowed to drive. Well, I am driving on my foreign drivers license...

I just really want my SSN to be able to be added on my mans health care. If I don't have the SSN in a month from now, I can only be added in July...

In California you only have ten days to get a CA driver's license as a resident of the state, to be legally allowed to drive.  If you do drive with a foreign or out of state DL and get stopped and asked to show your DL to police, you could tell them your story and hope they would understand your situation and only give you a warning.
