About tax filing

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

We are married in Nov 07 but I missed to apply SSN before marriage and my I-94 was expired in mid-Dec 07.

At first, we were waiting to get my SSN once I got my EAD or GC...as we see now, it seems that no more big movements since my biometrics on Jan 4th 08, we are afraid that we might not get the things done by April (the deadline for filing tax)

Anyone who can give us some advices? We'll appreciate it a lot...thanks!!

I don't believe you have any more reason to delay.

My (then) fiance arrived on Jan 12. We were married on Feb 09 2008. Last week, we took a completed SSN application, her passport, and a certified copy of our marriage license to the SSA office. They accepted the application and began processing. We're expecting the SS# in a few weeks.

As explained in the VJ discussion on Getting SS Numbers, K1 visa holders don't have to wait for EAD or GC.

Sigh~~~I got the wrong concept, I really think I do need a EAD or GC for applying the SSN.

I arrived to the States on Sept 12th and got married on Nov 4th...how ridiculous!! I've being a Alien for almost half year <just has a A#>, this is true not a joke!!

I don't believe you have any more reason to delay. Must have valid (unexpired or less than 14 days from expiring) I-94 which the OP stated was expired.

OP - Judging by your timeline, your EAD should be on it's way soon - hopefully this will arrive with plenty of time to get the SS card. There may be an alternative to this, but unless it is pressing to file soon, I'd hold off just a bit to get the EAD then apply for the SS-card.

Karin und Otto,

Thanks for your encouragement!!

My EAD and AP application are so mysterious...I don't know why they are still shown as "undeliverable" online. My hubby called to the USCIS hotline on Feb 8th, but up to today still have no replies...Just want to make an appointment for the INFOPASS, but we found they are only available on March 11th (kind of useless and not worth to ask my hubby to take a time off to go there with me)

I'm from HK 2. We have the similar situation. We got married in Nov, 07 N my I-94 expired in early Dec, so i couldn't get my SSN. I need to wait for my EAD or GC come then i can get my SSN. I got a e-mail said my EAD is ordered N will be come soon. I hope your one will be come soon! Good Luck!

Hi V+A,

Nice to meet u here...We really have very similar timeline, I wish I can get my EAD soon...By the way, I think the RFE for the AOS really held up my EAD...

I've been in the States for almost 6 months...got nothing to do and nowhere to go...so poor~we even haven't gone for honeymoon yet!!

Where are you in the States now? I am in Rochester NY.

Ohhh we are exactly the same...I came here with K-1 on Sept 12th and get married on Nov 4th, then filed AOS/EAD/AP on Nov 28th, got my NOA on Dec 6th and did my bio on Jan 4th 08.

Received the RFE letter for I-864 in mid-Dec (even before my bio) and we sent them back in Jan, they also resumed my case on Jan 28th...Hope I will receive my EAD and AP soon, and not sure when will my interview be happened???
