Working with false SS# and AOS

[spookyturtle 9,466]

I am married to a K-1 visa holder. She was out of the US for 3 1/2 years while we went thru the long and painful waiver process for her overstay. We are now filing for AOS. She worked in the US using a false ss for a few years prior to 2005. After she returned to her country in 2004, a letter from SS for her arrived in the mail. It stated that her name didn't match the number beiing used etc. and that was the last I ever heard from them as I never responded in her behalf. I had no idea what to do and forgot all about it, until now.

Will this be a problem when adjusting status or getting a legitimate ss#? Has anyone here faced this or have any knowledge of this? Any info will be appreciated.

No, this was dealt with when you filed a waiver.

You will need to apply for a valid SSN, and should do so shortly after entry on the K-1

Right. No need to bring this up.

On the G-325 it will list her unauthorized work from 2001-2004. On the I-765 for EAD, it asks for ss#s used. I don't want to lie on either of the these forms and I am wondering if it will be opening a can of worms.

Also, when applying for a new ss#, will it show up that her name is with a ss# that is not hers? I am really stressing out about this. The waiver process was miserable and I just want to get this done as painlessly as possible. Thanks for the replies.

Hi how about me. I had applied my SSN february 22,2008 till now no SS card recieve yet. den march 19, 2008 we went to the SSA and the lady SSA officer said they sent it already. But until now no SS card showed-up. But the lady's gave me a printed out of my SSN. it says like this:

OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER XXX -XX - XXXX IS ASSIGNED TO ABCD , , , XXXXX

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD IS THE OFFICAIL VERIFICATION OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. THIS PRINTOUT DOES NOT VERIFY YOUR RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UNITED STATES.

But i sent my AOS already with my SSN given by SSA officer.

This is not a problem once a number is assigned it is your's for life, the card is not needed for you to put the number on the AOS paperwork.

The disclaimer is correct, you need EAD or green-card to work, having the SSN by itself is not evidence that you can take a job, the card would have "Valid with DHS auth only" on it.

Hopefully I am worring about nothing. I am just so paranoid about this who process.
