K1 Approved, Married - Next steps

[Rojas2015 0]

My husband entered on a K1 Visa, we got married in July, filled AOS and it was received in August 2015 His biometrics appointment is next week and I was just curious to know how long after that would he get his work permit and be able to apply for his SSN.

you can get SSN number now, actually you could have gotten it when you came, all you would have to do is show your K1 visa to the ssn office. Take your passport,marriage certificate, birth certificate. they will give you a letter and mail it to you.

We did that when he came & we were told to take his I-94 , but according to the Social Security office it had expired and unable to get it. But we will look into that. Thanks!

If his I-94 has expired or has less than two weeks of validity remaining then you would need either his EAD or green card before he could obtain a social security number.

Typically EADs are issued within 90 days of application.

That's what we were told.

So we did file an AOS it was received last month & biometrics are next week...so maybe a month until we get an update?

ok yes once ur I94 is expired , you now have to wait for your AP/EAD to get approved, after your Biometrics, you can then go get your SSN card.
