Social Security Number

Hello All,

When my wife and stepson were immigrating to the US, I checked the box on the K2 requesting SS#'s be assigned to them.

My wife and son arrived in the US in August 2010 and we were married that month. We have filed the AOS paperwork and await the notification for interview. In the meantime, I want to do my 2010 taxes and need their SS#'s.

I've never received SS cards for them or any SS communications. So I'm not sure if numbers exist for them or if I need to apply for SS cards. I'm also not sure if they qualify for SS cards as I did not fill out the form for work authorization from EHS, thinking that the AOS process would go relatively fast.......

Any advice or pointing in the right direction is appreciated.

Thank you,

Thank you,

the check the box thingy does not work for K-1 or K-2, you need to go to the SSA as soon as the GC's arrive.

Thank you for the reply. Does it matter if she doesn't have "work-authorized immigration status" as I did not fill out that form when I did AOS paperwork?

Also, since I have an I-485 pending for my wife and stepson, do I need to pay the filing fee for the I-765?

Also, do I need to file for my stepson who is 9 years old? Finally, if I do not need to file for him, does that mean I can get his SS card separate from his mother?
