Issuing of social security card for form I-765

[London88 9]

Hi Everyone, 

 

In form i-765 Question 14 it asks: “do you want the SSA to issue you a Social Security card?”

 

1) I currently have a SSN as I'm in the US on a work visa, so do I need a new one issued for my temporary work authorization whilst I wait for my adjustment of status?

2) Unfortunately due to Covid-19 the company that currently sponsors me is closing towards the end of this year? Once they close in December my current work visa will be void, so would that mean my current SSN would be void too? In which case does that change what I should put in my i-765 with regards to them issuing me a social security card

 

Thanks for your help!

Your SSN is yours for life. Number and card you already have is yours.  You won’t get another number and you don’t need a new card
