Tim and I went into the office on the 24th of Aug. I was armed with information because I knew that they wouldn't know what I was talking about when I said I could get an SSN on a K-1, however, she said she couldn't get past a certain point on the computer, and to call DHS. So we went to the Congress office, and the woman there said, "oh, no you need your EAD" I showed her a print off of info that states K-1's are work authorized, (well, not really but you know) and she called the SS Supervisor, who said, "yes she can get it, but it won't be authorized to work." ( I knew that) She was impressed that I had my facts!! ( Thanks VJ). So she instructed the workers to put my application through.

My main worry was the marriage license, so we went to the probate judge who let me know that I didn't need the SSN, my A-number on my visa will do fine! ( I'm so glad, we're registering for the license next week!)

So finally on the 31st, we were able to get around to the office again ( we've been SO busy with wedding plans!) and applied again. The girl there recalled my situation, took a copy of my visa and I-94 to give to her supervisor, and today I got the letter that say's my card will come in two weeks!! Yay!! I have my number so we could probably go ahead and get my name on Tim's account now!! If all goes well, maybe my card will come in before we're married in 16 days.

Well done - it is nice when all the dominoes start to fall into place one after another like that:-).

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Good Job being so prepared! That's so weird they gave you so many problems... When I went to get mine there were no questions asked!

yeah, I was hoping that because I was prepared with documents to show I was entitled as a K-1, she still said she couldn't get past a certain part on the computer when she was entering the information. But I got it now. Then they get to see me again when we go back to have it changed to my married name..:lol: Wonder how much that will confuse them! :wacko:

Yeah I'm a little confused about getting your name changed on the SSN. Mine is still in my maiden name, I haven't changed it yet. I thought I heard somewhere that you need your EAD to go get your name changed on it, because they won't do a name change without removing the "not valid for work" at the same time? Is this true?

Not sure about that, but you may as well wait for your EAD or GC to get a new SSN card... then you don't have to go back twice! Once for the name change, once to get the wording removed...

The restriction noted on the SS card is removed when we get our GC's, not with an EAD.

My job didn't even look at my actual card, I just gave them my number and showed them my EAD card and that was it.

Congrats on the SSN Joyce!

Really Sapphire? Alright, makes sense. Well I'll need it to have my married name when I go get a CO DL, so I should probably go get it changed anytime between now and when I get my EAD...

Yeah they tell you to get a new SSN as soon as you change your name, and in your case, you'll have to go again once you get your GC. Might be more efficient to just wait and do both at once... but if you have the time, then it's no biggie I guess.

If you get a new one before the GC, they'll just keep the restriction on it, which really doesn't mean anything once you get your EAD anyways.
