Wife needs ID card immediately; Can't wait for SSN

[Sudowpa2 4]

Has anyone every been successful in getting a military dependent ID card for their wife without a SSN?

 

I would like for her to get something after she enters in on a CR1 visa.

 

Wait time for an SSN number varies to much. To much uncertainty.

Not sure how it works today, but when we first got married in Germany I was able to get a military ID Card without a social, but can't remember if I had an ITIN. However we been married since 96 and still had the old ID Cards, so not sure how it works today.

You dont have to wait until your spouse receives SSN. Right after my spouse was shipped to BMT, they mailed me the copy of his order and also the instruction of application for military ID for dependents.  I just brought my passport, driver license and his order to the office and they made me ID card asap. 

P/S: When I was applying for ID card, I did not have SSN or ITIN. And I am F1 visa.
