Social Security number without I-94

[raelellis 0]

My husband was not given a social security number when he applied because they said he didn't have enough time left on his I-94. Which, to be fair, he did leave it pretty late. However, we are now in AOS. We received our first NOA and have an appointment scheduled for Biometrics. Does anyone know if he can now receive a social security number using his visa and the NOA. We sent in the original I-94 with one of the forms for AOS and now only have copies of the I-94. Does anyone know the process to a social security number outside of using the I-94?

Because he did not apply for his SSN until it was too late, he will have to wait until he has either his EAD or his Greencard.... as he is not employment authorized until he has one of them in hand....

The process is explained in the guides: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...om&page=ssn

Also you should have the original I-94 card in your possession and have sent the copy to the USCIS with the AOS paper work.

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.
