OK, we add our experience now, TRYING to get Social Security card....

I brought my fiance from Viet Nam on K-1 visa, and 2 weeks later, we married.

We went down the next week to get our certified copy of Marriage License and certified copy of Affidavit, so we could go to the Social Security office , do name change since my wife wants to take my married name...The County said we take those papers with her passport/visa/I-94 and that is normal procedure

BUT....Social Security office looked at her passport and and did not even look at the marriage license or affidavit, and said

got cut off...

but said we need to change her I-94 to her now married name!!! How stupid!

We had legal service start AOS/EAD paperwork...they were not surprised...they said better to wait for EAD card anyway (a month or two wait) and that way, social security can not reject her again.

Which SSA office was this and how long has she been in the U.S.? Does she have an SSN in her married name or was this the original application?

So, I'm 1 day off my 2 week mark from entering into the country. I thought I'd give it a try today because tomorrow I am not around to go.

I went in, and told the woman I was here to apply for a SSN. I told her I entered on a K1. She goes, "Can a K1 work with just a SSN?" To which I replied, "No, I have to wait for the EAD so the back of the SSN states I can't work"

She then proceeds to agree and tell me, "Yes, well see you don't need a SSN then. We don't give them out. You can't work with it, so you don't need it."

I told her yes I was entitled to one, and I pulled out my handy dandy printout that states our class of viasa are eligible for a SSN but just can't work.

So she got huffy, typed my name in and said I wasn't in the system yet.

She told me to come back on Friday and ask for the Supervisor to see if I was in the system, and then she shut the window right in my face.

I wasn't trying to tell her how to do her job or anything, I just came prepared with literature and back up.

Let's hope Friday goes well. I can't do squat without a SSN.

I just wanted to share.

Have a great day!

Unfortunately there are countless morons in the civil service in this country. It must be because you have to be a citizen to fill the ranks of bureaucracy here.

I am now a US citizen.

Did you apply for EAD with your AOS.

I went in last Tuesday and got my SSN changed over to my married name. I had to show them my EAD card for them to do it.

My son got his SSN today. He applied for it last Tuesday. He couldnt get one with out his EAD card.

Another step of this process over for us :yes:

when i went to apply for my first one, i just used my k-1 visxa and got it wit no problem, i should have gone to change the name before the k-1 expired, then i wouldnt have had a problem. I dont have my EAD yet, I was getting my biometrics done and it was in the same building s the SSA, so I figured on killing 2 birds with 1 stone. I will wait until my AOS interview and try again....

We were in the SSA office far longer than the biometrics appt. They took me right away for bimetrics...was done in 10 minutes. :dance:
