SSN and AOS

[Bacon 0]

We were unable to apply for my husband to get his SSN prior to our marriage. Now when going in to the SSN office we are told that we need to apply for the AOS before he can get an SSN. I've found that he should be able to get his social security number at any time based on the K-1 visa.

Does anyone know if it effects the AOS if he doesn't have an SSN at the time the AOS is submitted to USCIS?

He can get it based on his K-1 status so long as his I-94 is not expired (or within approx 2 weeks of the date it will expire).

It won't affect his AOS.

I'd go back to the SSA if I were you if his I-94 hasn't expired.

I entered as a K-1 and due to SSA incompetency I as yet do not have a SSN. I applied for AOS earlier this month. The only thing I'm concerned about is the fact that with having no SSN I am finding it hard to gather "evidence" of mingling of financial affairs for if we have an interview. Can't get on my husband's bank account. Can't get on the lease without SSN. It's a nightmare.

I don't know if you've read this guide How to get a Social Security number , but it might help you since it explains what to do. You might have to ask for a supervisor if you get someone unfamiliar with K1s who says you have to wait. You are still eligible to get the SSN.

On your AOS just put NONE anywhere it asks for the SSN.
