K-1 SSN mail in application?

[mai95 4]

I have seen/ read the guides, but can an K-1 mail in the SS-5 application for SSN? in the instructions for the SS-5 you can mail it in, I just wonder if this is possible for a K-1? As long as you supply the supporting documents I don't see why?

I've never heard of anybody in VJ who reported that they mailed in their SSN application. But in that case, are you comfortable in mailing your passport too?

A copy of passport was mailed? yeah that is my concern if they need to see the original passport that is why it is best to go to the local office. I have never heard of mailing it in, So just wondering if anyone has done it.

I would move heaven and earth to apply in person, regardless of any inconvenience to any other human.

Yes, you need to show the passport with the K-1 visa (as this is the only valid ID a K-1 visa holder has) and bring a print-out of your I-94 as well when you go to SSA office.

No. You must apply in person for the SSN

Go and apply in person at your nearest SSA. You need to show your passport with K-1 visa in it and a copy of your I-94.
