I was reading the K-1 visa flowchart and it had for its order:

- Apply for social security number(SSN)

- Apply for marriage certificate

- Get married

....does this mean you cannot get married without a SSN?

Also how do you "apply for a marriage certificate"? I don't know much about the logistics behind marriage so i didnt know you needed one :P

You should apply ssn 2 weeks after arrival on K-1 visa even if not married http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn

Also each state has its requirements for marriage. Go to google and type in "marriage requirements" and the state you are interested in marrying and you will see what is needed.

No, but you will need it for other things like insurance, bank account, drivers license, etc. So, it is best to go ahead and get it as soon as you can after you enter the US.

You can open a bank about at Bank of America with no SS#, as my husband has. Drivers license depends on the state, and insurance varies as mine added my husband without. I think you should look up Oregans requirements and go from there. An easy google search should net your answers.. And you don't need a SS for marriage!!

You can get married without SSN yet,you don't need it in getting Marriage license but....it's because receiving SSN takes time, and if you want to file for Adjustment of Status before your I-94 expire you need to apply for it before you get marry,because you will never know how long it will take specially when they made a mistake in your application.....to apply for marriage license,go in the court house with your fiance bring your passport,and let him bring ID too,you both just need to fill up the form there...then read a counselling book for marriage before filling up the form...LOL...we didn't read it all.
