Got my EAD but can't find i94 to get SSN

[heyitskaye 0]

So i already have my EAD card and i am ready to apply for my SSN. When i was researching documents to bring for applying SSN, i noticed that i have to print out an i94 again but when i tried to download it, it just says "not found". I have no idea why because im very sure that i have downloaded one from the website before. Did they delete my record not that i have my EAD card? Do i need to have i94 to apply for SSN? I came her on k2 visa. Im confused as to why i couldnt find it now

with EAD in hand, the I-94 is not needed, at the SSA office.

Your i-94 is most likely expired anyway. EAD will serve as document proving your legal status in Us.

Just so you have it, go to cbp.gov and click the link for I-94. You have to fill in the blanks...name, date of birth, date of entry, etc. It should be still online.

You use the I-94 along with the K-1 visa to get the SSN when you arrive on the K-1 visa. Once you have either the EAD or GC you are a LPR in the US and are thus eligible for a SSN. A K-1 visaholder is a legal alien allowed to work so they can apply for a SSN. The SSA would love to remove this from the laws and only issue SSNs to people with the EAD or GC. A K-2 visaholder has to wait for the EAD or GC in order to get a SSN so you do not need to I-94 for anything now. Go to the SSA, complete the SS-5 form, show your EAD card and passport and you should receive your SSN--some SSA employees are a bit think when it comes to things out of the ordinary.

Good luck,

Dave

Alright thank you so much

I-94 not needed when you have the EAD. An expired I-94 cannot be used to get an SSN anyway.

~ Moved from AOS from Family Based Visas to Social Security Numbers - topic is about getting an SSN ~

If you only have an EAD then you aren't an LPR yet, just an applicant.
