Hi everyone I am about to file for AOS and was wondering how to obtain the SSN?? Does it come together with the Employment card? What if I don't file for the employment authorisation how to I obtain the SSN?

Thanks for your responses

i wish i could give you a focused answer, since

is blank..

so I'll ask - which visa designation did you use to enter the USA ?

[jobenpez1 0]

Actually I am waiting to file before I update my timeline.

I use a B2 visa to enter the us and it's expired last october. I got married here in February 2014 and at that time I was going in and out the us because I was working international. And I got pregnant so my husband and I decided I stay since I was pregnant.

Why do you need SSN for AOS?

You will apply for SSN after you get your green card.

In that case you can't get an SSN until you have either EAD or green card

Ok so when I file for the AOS can I just file i130 and i485 and later file for the EAD? Or I have to file all together?

are you reading our Guide Section here?

I ask, cause it seems that you are planning on paying a fee for the EAD card.

Also I have 2 kids (8 years and 6 years) back home I am planning to file including my kids. Do you guys think it's wise or I should just do as Darnell suggested file mine once I receive my notification then my husband file file for them??

Hey,

I applied and got my SSN before applying for my AOS and EAD... My SSN card has "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION." printed on it which comes on cards issued to people lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis who have DHS authorization to work. I don't think it is necessary to have one before you apply though, I will need to get mine updated when I finally have my AOS approved!

Yes Darnell I read the guides. I don't understand I don't need to pay the fee for the EAD?

[Darnell 8,478]

I-131 and I-765, when filed WITH an I-485, has no fee, the fee is waived on these 2 forms.

Katie&Kevin14's yes but my visa B2 already expired or do you mean I can still apply for SSN with an expired visa?

[jobenpez1 0]

Oh really?? So Darnell you mean when I file the i485 and i130 I will have i131 AD and i765 EAD FOR free???

[Darnell 8,478]

Yes, as Darnell stated, you don't need to pay for I765 and i131 fee if you apply for those with i485.

Why you are worried about SSN,... after you file i130 and other forms stated above, you can apply for SSN once you get EAD or you can apply for SSN after you get green card if you don't want any restrictions on your SSN.
