My K1 visa got approved yesterday (wooo! :D), so now I'm worried about what comes after.

I read the SSN guide from visajourney (http://www.visajourney.com/content/ssn) but due to some circumstances we will have to get married within the first week of my arrival. If we get married so soon I'm not sure if I can follow the instructions on the guide to get an SSN.

I'm completely confused what to do now :/ Do I still follow this procedure to get it or is there another procedure I'm supposed to follow?

Flying to the US to join your other half and take a moment to breathe and be happy with each other is your next step :) even if you have to do a wedding quickly, you've just done a major life change.

Have you looked up on getting a marriage licence in your state to be? Do you have the wedding planned, even if it's going to be a small civil ceremony?

The reason I say is because it's so easy to become swamped with things to do when you just need to focus on the next step which is travelling to the US.

I guess you're changing your name? Search changing name and SSN in forums search, I know there's been a couple of posts on it.

Hi! I looked into the same thing and contacted the court house where we will get married directly -- they said I did not need to have an SSN, but that they then would require two other documents to prove my identity. Maybe try doing the same? Good luck!

Ah my apologies, I see what you mean, you don't need SSN to get married. Like above poster mentioned contact county clerks office to see what requirements are for your state. I just needed my passport and was fine
