Nice move te, i was doing the same so i only have to briong my passport, visa, I-194 and the marriage certificate..

yoiu think i need a birthcertificate too?

BC is not required since you have your passport Mrs. Artis

Oh I thought BC is required too. I would just bring my BC just in case

yes riz just bring your bc...coz when i got to ssa local office here lastweek they ask if i have my bc...yesterday my ssn card arrived by mail....it took 1week only...im goin back there after i got my marriage certi ..for name change

hi ann! are u required to work immediately once u hold the ssn? cus im planning to apply for it once i get there but maybe i wont work yet for a couple of months.. im planning to focus on applying for a job only when the AOS and EAD is on its process or better when its already done! u think my idea would be ok?

may nurse ba ditong kukuha ng license sa cali? ssn is required to get the hard copy license, so how can i get one if i wont have the SSN

i really cant get it....ok let say il apply for an SSN ONCE I GET THERE... DO I NEED TO WORK IMMEDIATELY? does a person holding an SSN mandated to work??

im really confused.... how can i work if i need to prepare for my wedding? il apply for the AOS EAD after we get married and that is on november..and if i cant work without an EAD even if i have an SSN...then that means, applying for an SSN once i get there is useless....

i hope u guys are getting me?

i hope so..

i have a very simple question here.... il be arriving in cali on sept and my wedding is on november. as i thought that wud make things simpler, can i just apply for that SSN after i get married so im already carrying my married name then?

in this case what would happen if someone applies for the SSN after the 76th day?

Everything will be given back, you will be issued an SSA-L676 notice and shown the door.

https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203510

D. PROCEDURE - SSN CARD REQUEST BY ALIEN NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK

1. Alien Wants SSN Card to Work

Give the alien the appropriate notice (Form SSA-L670) indicating that the applicant did not provide evidence of work authorization. If the applicant refuses to take back the application and insists SSA process it, explain that SSA will not assign an SSN or issue a card. Provide written notice using Form SSA-L676 to explain that an SSN cannot be assigned or a card issued because he/she did not present appropriate authorization permitting him/her to work in the U.S.

btw..HOW CAN AN ALIEN BE "UNAUTHORIZED" TO WORK" anyway? how can u say that this alien is NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK..

im a bit confused why is there a rush in getting an ssn? is it because of that i-94?

tnx!

My reason is so that I can get Riza on my insurance as soon as possible, and they require SSN's for that. Of course since she can't be on my insurance until we are married, it's the same thing anyway.

..i agree, ur point of view is practical..same here, i feel its better to wait til u carry the married name before u apply for ssn..but its contradicting to what how i understood what "i_quit" is saying...that they wont issue the ssn if there is no authorization permit..

if ul wait til riza carries ur name before she apply for the ssn, will it result to her 1-94 expiration?

what if i applied after the 76th day? WHAT WIL HAPPEN? i dont think that means i wont get an ssn FOR LIFE?????

so this means they wont issue an SSN at all if i waited for 2mos before i apply?

FYI, as a K-1, you are eligible to apply for a SSN from day 1 to day 76 of entry....

what if i wont work yet from the time of my arrival til i get married (sept - nov) do i still nedd to get the SSN or it can wait til i get my married name..

im just thinking of the i-94 validity...cus it says here on the vj guidelines, it has to be valid when applying for ssn

I tried to change my name on my ssn, I showed them my marriage certificate too. if you're out of status, or you don't have 76 days left before your i-94 expires then they will say you have to show proof that you're in status... so you'd need an EAD. You could apply for an EAD before you get married, but you'll have to pay extra money.

good luck.

yes, this is what im talknig about...theyl ask for the EAD and yes which i can apply for even before i get wed. the thing is, i know i wont be able to work yet from the time i arrive there (sept) up to my wedding month (nov) due to preparation and all.. so is it ok if il just apply for the SSN on november? EVEN THE FACT THAT MY I-94 ON THAT TIME WOULD already BE EXPIRED.

also atleast when i apply on november, i will be using my married name already...but yeah, is it ok for me to apply on november though il arrive in the u.s. on sept.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...om&page=ssn

based on this guide here in VJ. it says that once we receive the card by mail, there will be a note stating:

"VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION"

indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work.

and that EAD can only be filed once im married right? together with the AOS..

so this means that after i receive the SSN after 2 weeks upon filing it, i still can NOT work IF I DONT HAVE A VALID EAD?

also, i know that the I-94 should NOT be expired when i apply for an SSN but since il arrive at LA on sept and most likely apply for SSN weeks after, it will still be my MAIDEN NAME on it until november. (our wedding month) and if i ask for a change of name for the SSN AFTER I GET MARRIED, do i still need to give them an UNEXPIRED i-94???

My luggages were not opened by the custom officers because they have an xray for that purpose. I was just asked if I brought with me food, etc. It was quick and easy.

OK SO ABOUT THE FOOD... il be bringing polvoron and peanut butter with me and put it on the box... do i have to tell them or no...what should be done this matter?

btw, my POE will be LAX

is there some kind of a link similar to.... "FOR K1 FILERS, AFTER YOU GET MARRIED..HERES WHAT TO DO NEXT"..

somthing like that?... im really clueless where to start

i am new on the AOS journey..i just want to know ...i will arrive in the U.S. on sept 26 and we'll get married on nov 23. in my case whose under K1, what should i do once i get to the u.s.?

can we file immediately for the AOS then? do i need to deal with the medical?

please enlighten me...is there an instruction like "TO DO'S once the K1 beneficiary gets to the U.S."?

Hello Shes,

I used VJ guide for my AOS and was done after 64 days..

hi there shannon! thanks for answering my question. btw, is the TB skin test should be done by a CS? and say treatments need to be done as well, should it be also by the CS?

Hi again! No prob. David and I went and had his immunity tests for the vaccines done at our family doctor and then the actual needed vaccine (from the old requirements, still needed second MMR) also at our local doctor. I would imagine that the skin test could also be done there as well. When you call the CS, ask and see. I asked and they were really friendly. I know that many people haven't had good experiences, but it's worth a try! Did you check the FAQs from the vaccine link?

Treatments?? Can someone with TB even enter the States? I don't know the answer to this one, sorry.

i read the new TB guidelines out last May 2008. it mentions classifications of TB, wherein it says when you got a positive result on the test- there will STILL be a course of treatment. some gets positive especially for those who got BCG vaccine when they were babies..
