Question about I-94 for K1 visa

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I am wanting to help my fiance get an SSN, and my fiance arrived in the USA a little over 2 weeks ago.

 

The I-94 still shows the most recent entry from 2 years ago, not a couple weeks ago. So it says B2 instead of K1 on the I-94. The travel history is correct.

 

Does my fiance have to wait for the I-94 to be updated before applying for the SSN?

 

Thanks

I would wait and carry a correct I-94.

Your I-94 should have been updated the minute she came thru POE a few weeks ago. I was able to access my fiancees I-94 online while we were waiting for the bags from our flight to be delivered to the carousel.I then printed it to my home so copy would be waiting. Make sure you apply for the SS card as soon as you can, if you only have a few weeks left on your I94 they will not let you apply for the card, I believe you have to have a minimum of 14 days left on your I94 for them to process the SS card.

I never heard of it taking time to update, from what I found online it updates as soon as they scan the passport at any land,sea,or air POE.

Unfortunately it happens more often that the I-94 doesn't get updated correct. Check https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1696/kw/not issued i 94. Although it's for 'I-94 not found', this is basically the same. You'll find the contact info on the page.

 

And yes, if the I-94 isn't updated your fiancé won't be able to get a SSN.

Do you suggest I call the closest office and explain the situation about the I-94?

 

Thanks

According to the Step-by-Step Guide to getting a Social Security Number (SSN) on this website:

Quote

You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. If you go too soon your
record of arrival will not be in the SAVE-ASVI system yet, and it will require manual verification from the
USCIS. As this will add weeks to the period it takes to process the SSN, it is advisable to attempt to wait the two weeks to be safe. If you have waited the 2 weeks and they tell you they can not verify you arrival record via the SAVE database, you may allow them to to process it (but remember the potential delay for manual verifications). You can ask if they will check the computer again for you in a few days or return personally to have them look again -- thus eliminating the manual verification. The manual verification will require the SSA office to file a G-845 with the USCIS.
