k2 AOS & SSN

[kitnaw 0]

Hello to everyone here

I already mailed my AOS application last Saturday (Oct.7, 2006) but my husband and I decided to mail my son's AOS and EAD application next month due to financial reason. But what if we drop his EAD application then just only pursue his AOS, do you think is it possible to apply for his SSN after we received his green card? or they won't process his AOS without his EAD or SSN? the only reason why we need to apply for my son's EAD is to get his SSN as one of the requirements for K2 visa holder.

Thank you.

mrs.kpride,

Yes, a LPR can apply for a SS card if they don't have one already.

An EAD application depends on having an AOS application pending, not the other way around.

Thanks Yodrak for the info.

I will only apply for my son's AOS and no longer his EAD.

God bless.

mrs.kpride,

If he's too young to work then I think you've made the right decision. (Because that's what I did, too!)

yup Yodrak! my son is only 4 years and SSA's requirement is his EAD in able for us to apply for his SSN..that's kinda absurd eventhough its their requirement but getting the greencard rather than the EAD is a better choice.

Definitely a good idea, I think. If for some reason GCs have not been received by tax time, you can always request an ITIN in place of the SSN.
