Social Security Number

[KatieMay 0]

Hi,

I am currently filling out my application for residence (adjustment to status) and it asks for my social security number - I was here in 2001 as a student (with a student visa) and in order to get a part time job I was issued a Tax ID Number..

Does anyone know if I should write this number in as my SSNumber or write N/A?

Thanks,

An individual taxpayer ID number is not a Social Security Number. If you have a SSN, it will not change, so list it. If only a tax id number, no need to list it when asked about SSN. It's not an SSN.

So, which do you have, SSN or ITIN?

I believe it to be an individual Taxpayer ID Number - and so I will not list it

Thanks :)

You might want to double check to make sure what kind of number it is. If it was a SSN, the earnings you made as a student can count towards your overall SS earnings. I thought my DIL's was an ITID, but checked it out (called SS or IRS) and found out that it is truly a SSN. She had been here on a J-1 visa. She had thrown away her card, not thinking it was important and not realizing that she might ever need it again!
