Hi everyone

Adjusting from F1 to GC

so far I have done my biometrics, but I am wondering when can I apply for a SSN? Can I do that after receiving an EAD or can I do it before? And what do I bring to the Social Security office? Do I need to set up an appointment?

Alot of questions I know :) please help

You do have to be work authorized. Here is the link for SS info for non-citizens. It may just confuse you more. Look at the instructions on the form itself. There is some info for those on F-1 status, but since you've applied for AOS, that makes your status "AOS pending". Sorry if I've confused you more. I suggest giving them a call.

If you walk in to your local SS office with your EAD, how long will it take to have a number in hand? Is there anything else you need to bring?

Usually takes a couple of weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less). :thumbs:
