Trouble with SSN

[mrc 0]

Susie and I recently got married and we are in the process of filling out all the required paperwork for EAD and AOS. A few of my friends had told me that their spouses were able to get a Social Security Number while waiting for their EAD. The problem is, Susie's I-94 date has expired so she doesn't even have a temporary work authorization and the lady at the SS office told me that if you aren't legal to work, you can't get a number.

I have read that an Alien that isn't allowed to work can still get a SS card. Has anyone had a situation similar to this? I'm not even sure I can get Susie's military dependent ID without a SS number.

An alien is required to have EAD or Green-card to work. SSN is not authorization to work.

A K-1 holder can get SSN within 75 days of entry, after that they need EAD, or Green Card to get an SSN.

I am sure it's quite possible that you've been to DEERS already, but when we first registered me as a dependant I didn't have my SSN. I was given a temporary one for a month in which I was to present my acutal SSN. I would suggest that you talk to the people at DEERS to get help in finding out about extending the "temp ssn".
