DS-230

[K&E2009 71]

Hey,

Quick question!

In form DS-230, Q. 43b...

'Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you a SSN and issue card?'

Yes, or, No???

I have heard that people go and apply for SSN's IN PERSON when they arrive in the States.

Should I check yes or no in this one??

*ANOTHER QUESTION*

In the same form it has another 'yes/no' question...

'I authorize disclosure of information from this form to the Department of Homeland Security, The Social Security Administration, such other government agencies as may be required for the purpose of assigning me a Social Security Card, and I authorize the SSA to share my SSN with the INS.

The applicants response does not limit or restrict the Governments ability to obtain his or her SSN, or other information on this form, for enforcement or other purposes as authorized by law.

Yes

No'

Now, does that big long paragraph basically say; 'it doesnt matter which box you tick, we can look up what we want, when we want anyway!'???

K visa applicants generally only fill out Part I of the DS-230. The questions you mention are on Part II. In any case, they don't apply to a K visa applicant. Even if you answer "yes," you won't automatically be issued an SSN. You'll still have to go apply in person.

Thank you!

I only send DS-230 part 1 back to the Embassy, right?

Follow the instructions you received from the Embassy. That said, the Dublin embassy's page on K-1 visas says "DS-230 Part I."

Haven't received the Packet 3 from Dublin yet, just trying to get everything together in advance.

For what it's worth, the VisaJourney Dublin embassy info page also says Part I of DS-230.

Hi there,

I am a Canadian resident and had a question about the DS-230...It asks the question "What occupation do you intend to work in the US?" Do you answer that question?

I just wrote; I am free and willing to take up any line of work.

I hope that's acceptable!
