Rejected at SSA office

[I'm Gone 60]

I don't think it's huge deal if you don't tick it - you'll probably get the same denotation on your card, as your entry is that of a K1. That's how the SSA employee should enter it in the system, and as such, it should still come with that denotation. Would defer to I Quit on that for sure.

Well if you apply in person at an office you don't even need an SS-5, so if they enter it into the system as work authorized and not a permanent resident or U.S. citizen, you should get the work authorized restricted card.

SSA is in the process of switching over to a new system (SSNAP) and with that if you apply at the office you don't need the SS-5 or even need to sign the application.

I went to apply for my SS after we got married and it went very smoothly. I just told the person assisting me that I recently got married and brought my original marriage certificate with me.
