Hi All... I've read the guide here concerning the steps to take after entry into the US with a K1 visa, but I'm still rather lost! My question is about applying for a Social Security number: The guide says to apply for the SS#, then apply for marriage (within 90 days); I'm just wondering on what basis would you apply for the SS#?

When my fiance arrived, she didn't get any I-94 at all; Immigration returned to her only her passport. So I'm really dumbfounded here, and would greatly appreciate all comments/guidance! Thanks and regards...

Just went to I-94 site, it said "I-94 Information Not Found". Should I be worried? Does it typically take a few days for the system to update information?
