Social security number issues

[Axys 0]

Me and my now spouse have been together in the U.S. for two months now, ever since I arrived in August. We filed for me to get an SSN as soon as I could (2 weeks after entry), since we knew I was going to need it to be added to the lease. We were supposed to start the adjustment of status process a while ago: we have all the documents ready. Except, of course, that the i-485 has a question on whether or not I was ever issued a social security card/number. On paper, I have, but I never received it. I was told to wait six weeks before I went back to the office. I did. I went back in a week ago and they told me I needed to wait two more weeks for a replacement card, as the first was lost in the mail. My K1 status expires in early November. I desperately need to finish these files, I don't want to wait and end up being here illegally. I don't know what to do anymore. Do I just send the files as they are and tell USCIS I was never issued a social security card, and to make them issue me a new one? Will that be a problem? I'm at a loss here. Please help

You don't need the physical card. If you know the SSN, just use it and don't request new SSN. The checkbox on I-485 is to request number if you don't have one, not the card. Deal with SSA for card issue.

That's the thing, I don't know the SSN. I've tried to see if there was a way to see it online, but the platform seems to require my SSN for the login. Am I just supposed to send the petition in then, and not wait until I get an SSN/card?

I-485 doesn't require SSN AFAIK

Did you try asking SSA to write down your SSN in-person?

Not yet. I guess we'll have to try that tomorrow

Similar thing happened to me. Applied for SSN almost immediately but our local office messed up and “forgot to process my application” according to their customer service. Sent my AOS and EAD application in the meantime asking for SSN since I didn’t have one. Only for my SSN to show up 6 weeks after my original application from local office. Now what? Should I inform USCIS? I just received NOA’s for both applications.
