Hi everyone,

Like many others, I am working on my first tax return since we got married in July 2015. When I enter my husband's information, I am unsure of what number he needs. We are in the middle of AoS, he came here on a K-1.

In October, he received his Employment Authorization Card and Advance Parole.

So what number should we use? As far as I know, he doesn't have a SSN yet--is that something we needed to apply for ourselves? I was under the impression that it would be assigned if his AoS was approved? Or do we need to apply for an ITIN for this year and then use his future SSN on next year's return?

One more silly question: his "A" number? Is this valid for anything; will that become his SSN?

He made no income this year, but because we have a son, it's definitely the most beneficial for us to file MFJ.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you very much everyone. This is very helpful we'll see how it goes when I try calling on Monday!

My fiance and I completed our application in early June and we received NOA 1 on June 16th. In our application, I included a letter of "Request to Expedite", on the grounds of severe financial loss due to lost working time because of my pregnancy and impending childbirth at the end of October.

I was under the assumption that I would receive a letter of decision regarding this request, even if it were denied. Because I have had no communication from the TSC, it seems as though my letter has not been read yet. Can I call the hot line for information on this? Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts or input would be appreciated!

Thanks I guess that explains it.

Just wondering if anyone has any insight as to why my application would end up at the Texas Service center when I actually live in the state with the center closest to me. It makes me think it might be something to do with my expedite request letter I included, but since I've never done this before I have no idea! Thanks
