Hi there,

I have my interview on Friday morning and I need some help regarding my DS-160 on my K1 Visa application.

I filed it in around 6 weeks ago and remembered today that I applied for a temporary student social security card whilst I was on an exchange year in Florida two years ago. This was where I met my fiancé. I answered no to the question have you applied for a social security card as I co pelt let forgot I had applied for the temporary card around two years ago. The card has expired and I didn't even get the job on campus anyway. So much has happened in between then I completely forgot!!

Will this effect my ds-160 or my apication? Really stressing out about it!!

Please help!!

SSN's are permanent so presumably you applied for something else?

It was a temporary one for international students which expired two years ago so I think it is a different thing altogether I suppose!

Hopefully just overthinking things!

Wonder what it was? EAD? SSN's are for life.

There is no such thing as a ''temporary SSN''. Once you have one, you have one. You can see that explained in this publication for foreign students in the US. https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10181.pdf

Are you meaning something similar as described below? https://www.sas.upenn.edu/fas/sites/www.sas.upenn.edu.fas/files/How%20to%20Obtain%20a%20Temporary%20Social%20Security%20Number.pdf Where you were given a placeholder by a SASRBO which is in lieu of a REAL SSN, and MUST be given eventually.

If you currently have an actual SSN on an actual card, it's yours and is never temporary.

For a K1 visa, I don't really think that is anything to panic over. You are charged with answering to the best of your ability and you don't even know what you applied for. So you did your best. Social Security and K1 visa aren't particularly related so forget about it and don't even bring it up. When you get to the US, you will have to go to a Socail Security office and apply for a SSN. You can have them research to see if a number was issued before. If so, they will send you a new card with that same number.
