forms for social security card

[othman and lavon 0]

My husband came to the USA on a K-3 nonimmigrant visa. We applied for his social security card and got a letter stating :

We cannot give you a social security card at this time because:

You have not given us the documents we need to show U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status.

You must have a I-688 or I-766 along with the I-94 to get a social security number.

When we was there we showed the lady his passport and she made a copy of the visa and a copy of his Moroccan I.D. After getting the letter I looked on the list of forms for uscis and I did not see the forms they are asking for. Any ideas, anyone??

Paging mdyoung, spill in the Off Topic aisle. Paging mdyoung.

Hmm I see he quit VJ (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=43478&view=findpost&p=586265).

OP: Maybe VJ has another SSA expert inhouse. I doubt it though. Good luck.

K-3s are not entitled to a Social Security account until they have an EAD or a Green Card.

It is covered in the Guide "How to Get a Social Security Number" right on this very site.

:: For K2, K3, K4 Visa Holders ::

As a holder of a K2, K3 or K4 visa you must first have an EAD from the USCIS. You will be required to

show this to the SSA agency to be eligible to receive a SSN.

To apply for a SSN you will need to go to your local SSA office and bring:

1. The SS-5 form you downloaded and filled out (they have some at the office if you forget).

2. Passport (with the K-2, K-3, or K-4 Visa in it)

3. your valid I-94

4. another form of valid ID (as defined in the SS-5 instructions)

5. A valid EAD

Only persons age 12 and older must apply in person. A derivitive visa beneficiary (K2 for example) may

elect to have their parent (the K1 for example) apply on their behalf (they will still need all the required

documents). The SSA will most likely need to verify the validity of the EAD and will make a copy to send to the USCIS as part of the SSN processing. Once they verify the EAD you will receive your SSN card in the mail.

You can check on the status of your SSN application and/or often get the SSN in advance by returning in person to the SSA office. If you need your SSN before it arrives in the mail you may ask them for an SSA-7028, Notice to Third Party of Social Security Number Assignments, to be sent to your employer or other interested third party once a SSN has been assigned. Your card, when you receive it, will be marked with the words "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work.
