I am Canadian and worked in the U.S. for a year on a work visa. I received a SSN which was only valid with my work visa that is now expired since I moved back to Canada 3 years ago. My husband and I are in the process of filling out the I-30 for IR-1 / CR-1 Visa. The form asks for the SSN for the relative if they have one. Should I put down the SSN I had when I worked even though it's not valid anymore or leave it blank?

Thanks for you help.

My understanding, based on other postings on here, is that once you've been given a SSN for any reason, even if that visa expires, that will always be your SSN. So yes, you should include that number on your application. Hopefully people will chime in with extra knowledge.

Echoing what others have said, fairly sure that once you've been assigned an SSN that is your SSN for life.

My Toronto medical exam review. Note: the office has moved and some procedures have changed since my exam.

My detailed review of K1 Montreal interview for August 11th 2011.

My SSN application tips.

urs for life!!!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
