Hey, sorry for the two topics, but I just remembered another question I had.

If I had a Social Security Number / Card from a previous US Visa (Student Visa), do I need to get a new one now? Or will I have the same SSN under my name?

Your SSN is yours for always, it never changes. I recently went to my local Embassy to retrieve the number I had as a child living in the US so that I could use it on the forms.

The K1 journey:                                                                                                                             The AOS journey:

11/09/2013 - I-129F Packet mailed to Dallas Lockbox                                                                                         06/22/2015 - AOS packet mailed to Chicago Lockbox

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L) 

                                                                                                                                                                      

The ROC journey:                                                                                                                         

10/12/2017 - ROC packet mailed to VSC

01/21/2019 - ROC Approved - there was no interview

 

The N-400 journey:

02/16/2020 - N-400 application filed online

02/21/2020 - Paper NOA received in the mail

03/13/2020 - Biometrics

02/02/2021 - Interview & test - Approved

02/05/2021 - Oath Ceremony

I had a SSN when I lived in the US on a J1. I didn't know where I put the card, so I attached a supplement saying I had already been assigned one but must have lost it and that was why I left that section of the form blank. I'm pretty sure I had kept it in my old laptop case, but my house was broken into and they opened the case so I'm thinking it got caught up with stuff they took.

We got our NOA2 two weeks ago so they must have found it in the system. Hopefully I don't run into problems when its time to AOS.

K-1 Process:

09/03/13 - NOA1

10/22/13 - NOA2

02/25/14 - Visa Interview - Approved!

03/03/14 - Visa Received

04/08/14 - US Entry

06/05/14 - Wedding

AOS Process:

07/02/14 - NOA1s received for I-485, I-765 and I-131

07/23/14 - Early walk-in for Biometrics

09/04/14 - EAD Card Approved!

09/11/14 - EAD Card Received

02/27/15 - Greencard Approved!
03/12/15 - Greencard Received!
ROC Process:
02/07/2017 - NOA1
03/09/2017 - Biometrics
02/15/2018 - Extension Stamp in Passport at Local Office
