EXAMPLE FORMS

[papajeff 0]

I am getting ready to fill forms out and I see on the I485 that the ss number is filled in. I was under the understanding that you needed to fill all forms out to recieve this number?

Is this correct?

Just write "none" if there is no SSN card.

No.

The SSN is the Social security number. You can apply for your SSN at the social security office.

Here's the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...om&page=ssn

As a K1 you will need to go in and apply (spouse visas like the CR1 get it automatically mailed to them if they select that option on the form). Fill in the form, take your passport and K1 visa and the pages they mention to print (just in case). You will then have an SSN which you need (in most cases) to get a bank account and other fun stuff.

Hope that helps.

The SS# is asked for if you have it - if you don't, no big deal, just write/type "NONE."

FYI - A K-1 entrant can apply for a SS# shortly after entering the US. (See How to get a Social Security Number Guide for more information; it is not however required.

I am a little confused I thought you could not get social until you went and applied for change of status. I am sending in all forms for work, travel and permanet non us, but maybe I was mistaken. I let the K1 expire but we are married. we had alot going on new baby and the whole change of enviroment thing, I know thats no excuse but the only reason I got.

thanks in advance.

Edited to add; your K1 was null and void as soon as you entered the US. Your status was then derived from the I 94, and eventually will be derived on your pending AOS application.
