Social security # for K-2

[Holdingon 16]

My stepson just arrived in December on a k-2 visa. He is here in the USA permanently. When can he get a SS#. He is 10 and does not need one for work but school and Dr.'s and many forms are asking for it.

What is the next step in obtaining his AOS?

His mother has her green card.

 

Thank you.

You need to file for his aos first, sending the ead forms as well. He'll only be able to get a ssn with the ead only.

i don't think it's mandatory for doctors and school to have one though

Correct he does not legally need his SS #.What would the next step in his AOS be? What is the next form I need to complete for him?

maybe that should have been the original question

Just do as you did for the wife's aos.  should be a packet carrying much of the same docs. Do a search here and go for it
