How can I apply SSN online after entering US by K-1 visa

[Shunsuke 2]

Hi, I just entered to the US two weeks ago, and I confirmed I have I-94 updated.

I try to apply SSN, but SSA seems like close due to the COVID, so I could not apply in person service. I called to SSA but they do not answer, also searched how to apply SSN online, I could not find any information.

if someone applied SSN recently I would like to know how and link of the website. 
thank you

Hi Jeanne thank you for sending the link. Really helpful

I entered a couple of months ago. All of the SS offices (at the time - I believe it is still the case) were doing entry by appointment only.

 

My advice would be look up the phone number for the local office, call and explain your situation. To my knowledge, the SS offices are still working (I am actually on hold to mine as I type this), and will be able to schedule an appointment for you once you get through to them. My appointment was about a week after contacting them. Make sure you ask them clearly which documents you need to bring to your appointment!

 

Good luck!

I just came to ssa office today, we had appointment at 11.30 AM. I called ssa office last week and told them about my case, she said her supervisor will call me back to set up the appointment, then 2 days later the supervisor called me and inform me the appointment date.

Best of luck with the appointment. A couple of other tips for you:

 

* Once you have applied, make sure you keep regular contact with the local SS office to make sure your case is moving through the system. Seems a lot of them get stuck in one place or another.

* The SS office will do an immigration check on you using the SAVE system. You can check the status of that check here https://save.uscis.gov/casecheck/
