SSN question (after green card)

[jebs 0]

My wife & her daughter entered the US on K-1/K-2 visas. They now both have their first green cards which are good for 2 years. My wife already has her SSN. Does anyone know if I will have to have special forms from the DHS in order to obtain our daughter's SSN, as we will be applying for it after their original I-94 expires....?

Hi

you shouldnt have no problems with obtaining a SSN for your child if your daughter has her greencard already..

that is the best identification stating she can have one..

how come you didnt apply for one when your wife got her SSN...were you rejected...sorry but just curious...

just an added thought for you...take everything along with you anything that would help get the SSN...eg. passport, USCIS correspondence about your daughter, her GC, birth certificate and if you have anything like insurance that lists her that way it will show her address also...

take care

good luck

We applied for my daughter's SSN on the same day that we applied for my wife's SSN. The lady behind the counter said that I needed to obtain a I-6(33?) or I-(755?) form from the DHS for our daughter. Those 2 forms no longer exist, & are unavailable from USCIS or DHS. Those 2 departments are in a transitional stage between the old forms/processes & the new processes for K-2 holders. Internal USCIS memos show that they started phasing out the old forms in October of 2006.

I think they forgot to send a memo to all of the SSN offices. Maybe they did, & the office workers at my SSA office failed reading comprehension 101. It was very frustrating. I decided to wait for her green card in order to keep from spending $170.00 on an EAD for our daughter. Currently, they "need" the EAD so it will inform them that a 9 year old girl is too young for the workforce.
