Social security number

Im a little confused about this. I am on a B1 visitors visa, and applying for AOS, but do I have to wait until I am approved for residency before I can get a SSN? Ive seen it asks for the number on the AOS form- so what should I put?

you should put N/A

or get SS card which says 'Not valid for work'

and if you apply for EAD you can get SS# after that which will be valid for work

Here is official website: www.ssa.gov

good luck

Your are going to need some type of work authorization document to be assigned an SSN, so you will need to wait until you have an EAD card or AOS is approved and you have an I-551 stamp or card.

If you don't have an SSN by the time you want to file the AOS just put "NONE" where it asks for your SSN.
