When do we get packet back from immigration?

SSN in only required for those that have one. A non-resident alien will not have an SSN. Ask the county clerk what they can use in place of not having an SSN. Typically that would be their passport.

No

we have a photocopy in Africa that could be faxed, but I'm sure he needs original

Sucks I wish I would have known all this

I was hoping it was different county by county and that Chester would be more lenient than philadelphia abs I could just drove there.

Will be sad to call off wedding my parents are very involved in the process they are going to be sad too. Geez, hope this doesn't affect his AOS

before you make a further decision,

walk in to the office there,

get a supervisor,

and ask about it.

then report back here, the conversation and outcome of that conversation.

if chester county info on website is outdated, well, that will suck even more, and

it very well may be that the supervisor knows about k-1 visa folk, passport usage and visa foil usage. but ya gotta go in person, don't bother using a telephone at the philadelphia office - just go.

Ok. After studying and thinking, here is new advice.

go get ssn at ssa office today. Print i-94 first, bring i-94 and passport into ssa office, apply. Then go in again, next business day, get printout of number [not card]. Take passport and printout, apply for marriage license.

in chicago, cook county, they would not accept her BC as 2nd ID, after much discussion, passport was ID #1 and the K1 visa inside was #2.

Ok we ended up at Chester country per the great advice above! We got our license with just the passport. Philadelphia needed the birth certificate so I'm so glad I got this stellar advice!
