Thank you for this side inputs. Your such a good soul! I will be working on it today and get my husband do it the rest me to get my ITIN in replacement of a SSN and get our income tax return submitted and get it expedited.

Yes. I know that. Thank you.

I am so grateful for your suggested option. I will definitely check into our IRS office here and try my luck. The link you sent is very helpful. I will follow the given instructions there to acquire ITIN because at this point I couldn’t get any SSN number. Thank you so much!!!!!! You gave me some hope🙂🙂

Hi.. thanks for the feedback first of all. I came in the US on the 10th of December 2021. Got married on the 14th. We decided to do that to at least get tax refund as a married man in year 2021. IRS wants that I submit a SSN number in April which I did not have. Unfortunately, by the time I knew that I could get a SSN number for non work reason, my 1-94 and my K1 visa have expired. That leaves me to wait for the EAD and my husband have applied for a tax return filing extension. I really don’t know how long the wait will be but have tried to contact USCIS. Not successful. So I wrote here in the hope I could find options through the community’s experiences. I will check the option you wrote here. So thank you for that.

Thank you. We didn’t know and applying for the SSN number right looks too late. But would they issue me a ITIN or tax number without any valid 1-94 and K1? It’s frustrating when they can’t even issue temporary immigration status that is valid for for drivers license, bank account and tax purposes. Thank you for support the community support here.

Thank you for these information and insights. Looks like I would need to wait. My application were received March 22, 2022 although I have submitted in February 2022. To get my EAD, how long is the processing time at this point. Any realistic estimate? 10 months or longer? 😢

Hello All, Need help. To be able for me to get a SSN Number for non-work reason, I applied for the Form SS-5 UF at the Social Security Administration in Tullahoma, TN. I needed that SSN number in order to apply for drivers license, open a bank account and submit my husbands income tax submission to IRS to be able to get his refund for 2021. Again, the accountant needed a SSN Number. The Social Security office in Tullahoma was ready to give me the SSN. Number until she noticed that my K1 Visa is expiring in 3 days at the time I got that appointment. She said the processing will take them 2 weeks and I would need a valid Visa. I have a K1 visa that expired in May 15th. How do I get a SSN Number with this issue? Is there any other option available for me to get a SSN Number for non work reason? Thank you.
