It's very true many SSN employees aren't that knowledged about K1 visas.Luckily for me there was a senior employee who was well knowledged on it.I was able to get my SSN a week after I got here in Berkeley without any problems.just don't go too early to the SSN office when ur fiancee arrives in the states, give it atleast 1-2weeks for your fiancee to appear in their system first and then you should be fine. for me I was lucky to be in the system in about a week so I got my SSN. Also I think if you feel the employee that you meet isn't that knowledged, feel free to ask for a supervisor to help you out, you have the right to do that!! good luck

Yeah I know that! my thoughts was on why they said my conditional residency wouldn't be enough to join the military but JohnR helped me clarify that out. thank you all the same!!

Your status is conditional because you must prove first that you did not get married to evade the immigration laws of the United States.

Oh Okay thank you for that clarification as well but I wonder why they said the 2 year conditional wouldn't be enough though..............

Hmmmm now I am more confused, I just contacted an army recruiter and got this response:

Thank you for your interest in the United States Army. To seek U.S. Army service, you must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. National or a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States with an I-551 or G-845. You may apply for that here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis It needs to be the permanent (10 year) card. The conditional one is not sufficient.   Army regulations prohibit us from assisting or sponsoring you into the U.S. Once you have an I-551 or a G-845 verifying your approval for permanent residency, you can process for enlistment. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. 

Oh Okay, Thank you for the clarifications. I would contact a recruiter then to find out more, thank you once again

thank you for your response JohnR, can u please explain to me what you mean by just enlisted only? does it mean I can go through the boot camp training and then after I become a citizen that's when I can become an officer??

Can I join the military with a 2 year conditional green card based on marriage?? I keep getting different answers anytime I ask but can someone with a wide knowledge about this please enlighten me. thank you in advance
