I'm hoping someone who has gone through the K1 process could provide some insight. My wife (K1 Visa holder) and I just recently got married in the US last week...yipee after 7 months! And now we're going to apply for AOS. Her visa will expire in 2 1/2 months. We've just applied for her SSN yesterday.

Is it better to wait until she gets her SSN and then apply for AOS or not having SSN really doesn't impact her application?

Thanks in advance for your insight :D

I recommend you wait the extra few days until the Social Security Card shows up, and enter the SSN on the AOS form. It probably doesn't make any difference.

On the other hand, the official at the Social Security Administration verified the K-1's Passport, Visa, AND (in many cases) Marriage Certificate in the process of approving the applicant for a SSN. That "may" carry some weight with USCIS as far as getting your case transferred to CSC so you don't have to go in for an interview.

We did the original SSN card under the K-1 fiance's maiden name, then got married, then applied for a new card with her married name. No problems provided you have about 14 days of validity remaining on the I-94 in the passport.
