2 Problems

[D29TEXAS 0]

I have the following problems:

1. My wife came into the US back in January. We got married and a week later we went to get her SSN. The guy there said he could not find her info in the computer and would have to make copies of all her paperwork and send it off. A few days ago he finally called us back to say that everything checked out but he could not issue a ssn because the I-94 is almost expired. We have already filed for AOS and have received a biometrics appointment. How can I get her an SSN? Do I need to apply for a work visa which I don't have the money to file for? What are my options?

2. On the biometrics appointment paper, my wife's first name is misspelled. It was also misspelled on the notice that stated our paperwork was accepted. I called and had it changed for the first notice. Do I need to call again and tell them of the mistake on the appointment sheet?

Thank you for your time and help. Take care and God Bless!

I also forgot to file the I-765 for her work visa with the AOS package. Can I still do that without a charge? If I can, how would I do it?

The $1010 fee for the AOS includes the I765 (work permit) application and I131 (travel documents) for "free" You still have time to file for both of them if you want to. You need to submit the receipt notice from the I485 (AOS) application with the work permit application.

You should try and call the USCIS about correcting the name on the biometrics appointment. It needs to match whatever identification that will be presented on that day or they may not do the biometerics. Hopeful, they can get you a corrected appointment letter before the appointment date.

She will have to wait to get the SSN until after the green card arrives. There may have been two issues with your situation. You went up to the social security office too early. it usually takes 2 weeks for the immigrants information to get in the system. Then you got married which it if she changed her name with the marriage, then it would no longer match the name that is in the system. So they say that they can not change the name of the immigrant after marriage.

Attach a copy of the NOA1 for the 485.
