So we waited to bring my son into the US from Colombia. He arrived a few days ago. I wanted to start the process of his Adjustment of Status. As part of that process the form asks for his SSN. And the first document we got for my wife after we married was an SSN. However, when we arrived at the Social Security Office, the clerk informed me, that he can't have an SSN because a K2 doesn't give him authorization to work.  Now my wife's K1 didn't get her authorization to work either.  So that confuses me a little. She told me I need to get him a Tax Id, and not a SSN. 

 

I just want to confirm this information and maybe get an idea of if I need to return and talk to a different clerk, or if the next step is to get an Tax Id. Anyone know what the real deal is?
