She has to get a green card to get a SSN.

I doubt that she didn’t approved because her first intent of entering to this country was not to get married and live in this country. It is just for the visit. Even if she got the fingerprinting appointment, I doubt she will not get approved.

Good luck

Your friend will not be eligible to work until she has the green card. The SSN is not enough.

If she wants to open a bank account then she may have to talk to several banks. Most want a SSN or ITIN to open an account. To obtain a drivers license it will be difficult without an immigrant status. Now she is only a tourist.

The Social Security website is www.ssa.gov. Check there for the required documents.

yes, sorry to tell you but with your friend entering on a tourist visa the social services will not issue her a SSN.

You only will get one if you have the need for one in order to work with USCIS permission - like if you are here on a work visa or a student who can work on

campus. Cases like that you get a letter from your employer proofing the USCIS work permit and that is an evidence they need in order for a SSN to be issued.

Also like other's said, once you have the green card you will definitely qualify for one.

I think that posting should be in the AOS from student/work/tourist section.

As far as the need for opening a bank account goes to show joint assets, USCIS is aware that at the beginning of a marriage there is not much regarding financial records because of the banks need for SSN. Therefore it's important to have other joint proofs like being on a lease, maybe insurance benefits, joint memberships etc.
