Be aware K-I holders.

[BRB 6]

Be aware that filing with ITN will not allow you to have some tax deductions and you will have to file an amended return after you get the SSN. The making work pay credit will be lost and possibly some other deductions. I may be in the same situation with my wife. I am going to file for an extension and when she gets the SS# file the taxes. When you file for the ITN which must be done with a tax return you have to send it to a different address and knowing my gov I don't want them to screw things up.

If your wife came in as a CR-1 or IR-1, did she check off on the DS-230 to be assigned an SSN. If she did, she may receive her SSN card within three weeks of her arriving. If she doesn't receive it within three weeks she needs to go into a Social Security office or Card Center to see what's going on.

If she has been assigned an SSN the office can provide her with the number. However, it is has been over 14 days from the day the SSN was assigned and she hasn't received the card she will probably need to

apply for a replacement card.

Take proof of age, identity and work authorized alien status. Proof of age is not needed for a replacement card.

Birth certificate, passport and I-551 card or MRIV with temporary I-551 language should be enough to take into the SSA office.
