Question about SSN and K-1 visa

[ultracrow 0]

Hi, I have a question about my fiance's eligibility for an SSN. I've read the guides and some of the other posts, and it's to my understanding that a K-1 Visa holder is eligible to receive an SSN before they are actually married. Today, my fiance went to the local Social Security office. We brought the print outs that the guides recommend you to bring with you. We were told that, despite what the SSN website says, K-1 visa is not eligible for an SSN unless you have a valid marriage certificate and work authorization card and permanent residency??? (that doesn't make sense, because if she had a green card she wouldn't need a visa). We argued with several people in the office, including the manager. The end result was my fiance was given a denial letter. My question is am I misunderstanding the guides here and must we be married first before we can apply for the SSN or is she eligible for an SSN now? And if she is eligible now, what steps should I take? The SSA office manager is against us. Thanks for any help you can give on this.

LOL no kidding. I shudder to think what other regulations they are blowing off just because their personal opinions conflict with their written manuals.

I have read other cases where someone got the run around.

Philadelphia. I'm thinking about going to my Senator's office...which, ironically, is right across the street from the SSA office. I'm also considering contacting the local newspapers and news stations. I know at least one of them would love to do a story about how all these illegal Mexicans are getting SSNs, but a legal alien is wrongfully being denied a number when we have written proof right from SSA's own manual that she is entitled to one. As someone who works for the government, I'll be the first to admit that government employees are 75% idiots.
