K1 Manual Verification, can we get married meanwhile?

 Share

Recommended Posts

My fiancée came here with the K1 2 weeks ago. Today we went to get his SSN, and it is now “waiting on confirmation about his visa documents and the SSN card or denial notice will take up to 4 weeks” which I’m assuming means we are now having to do manual verification. 

 

My question is if we can get married during this waiting period. I have heard mixed reviews about applying for a SSN when you’ve already gotten married (Then having to wait until you get work verification, which takes months). So my fear is receiving a denial notice for the SSN after getting married, and then being told we can’t do the SSN application until the work verification.

 

can anyone offer any advice?

 

thank you.

You can get married regardless.   It is nice to have the SSN before getting married so you can open checking accounts, get ids, etc.  It is not required to get married or to file AOS.

You do not need a SSN to get married.

To clarify, my question is about getting the SSN, not getting married. Right now we have applied and are waiting for the manual verification, and I am wondering if we will have problems getting the SSN after getting married.

If there is an issue with the SSN it won't matter whether you are married or not.  And your AOS won't be denied for the SSN issue.

I went to the SSO 4 days after arriving in the US, was told they had to do manual verification, they sent my application away.  I got married 2 days later and the card arrived in the mail 3 weeks to the day from my visit to the office.  If there isn't a reason for you to get denied, you shouldn't get denied. I even went back to the office once I had my marriage certificate to change my name and they sent it for manual verification AGAIN, and I had the new card in less than 3 weeks.  It was very easy.
