What Next??

[AndyMisiu 0]

My fiancee just arrived on December 5th with K-1 visa. Our wedding is planned for January 20th 2007. We marked in packet #4 that she wanted a Social Security number, so that should be coming soon correct?

What are we to do next? I know we get married and file for AOS, but is there anything else we need to do or can do to make things easier. Such as work permit, SS#, AP, anything?

What about going to the doctor? can she do this yet?

What about the dentist?

Any tips??

Gee Andy, I don't mean to be rude, but isn't that what the guides are for?

You will have to go and file for a SSN as for doctors and dentist that will depend on if she has insurance to cover the cost or you are willing to pay.... but the guides are a good place to start reading about what happens after you arrive on a K1...

Good Luck

Perhaps several drinks followed by a general denouncement of fourm members will evoke a heart-felt deluge of helpful responses.

What about a drivers license??

Drivers license rules are really different from state to state. I didn't need a SSN to get mine in Kentucky.

Check out this site: http://www.dmv.org/, or just google your local DMV requirements.

oh good - I just personally think you get better guidance reading the guides - they are setup in a logical readable way. Then if something doesn't make sense, ask away! good luck!

The SS card will not be automatically generated by checking the box, it only works with IR1/CR1 immigrant visa types, or Immigrant visas only.

You will need to visit your friendly neighborhood SSA office to get the card.

AndyMisiu,

Not correct. She needs to go to a SSA office and apply for SS card. At some SSA offices best done prior to marriage and the often (for a woman) associated name change.

And *many* States require that you and your fiance/e MUST have SSN to be able to obtain a marriage license or you can not get married. SSN can easily take 4+ weeks from arrival so you need to look into this or you may have to reschedule your wedding plans. Find out what is needed for marriage license!

Jahan,

Many states may say that in their generalized statement of requirements, and they may even enforce it for a USC, but a non-USC is cannot be required to have a SSN to get a marriage license.
