Would getting a TID mess up a K1 visa ?

[Austin86 7]

I wanted to add my fiancee as a user on a brokerage account (I don't have a bank account just a brokerage), she has always had a hard time understating numbers, the difference in cost of living, investing and so on. I figured giving her viewer access to the investments account and full access to the CMA I setup to put savings in for her to use when moving here would help her get a butter understanding were we will be once married and living in the USA together. That and you know to get the ball rolling on combining fiances when married. My brokerage needs her to have a TID or SSN to be added and I was wondering, would that cause any conflicts with a k1 visa?

You probably mean an ITIN?  I don't think the government makes them available to just any foreigner who asks.  Once she arrives she'll be eligible for an SSN.

 

Having an ITIN wouldn't by itself affect K-1 eligibility, for example most people on student visas would have one.  But it might cast doubt on the question about ever having been in the US before (assuming the true answer is "no")

I was told by my brokerage firm that anyone could get a tid regardless 🤷‍♂️

fiancee is not eligible for ITIN  

 

Certain nonresidents that are eligible are spouses of USC's that are not yet in the US but married the year they apply for the ITIN

ITIN

An ITIN, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, is a tax processing number only available for certain nonresident and resident aliens, their spouses, and dependents who cannot get a Social Security Number (SSN). It is a 9-digit number, beginning with the number "9", formatted like an SSN (NNN-NN-NNNN).
