[K&N10 11]

Hi everybody!

 

We are just starting the process for the fiance visa(K1) and I would love some tips of you all  if it is possible! also I have a question, we are filling out the form I-129 F and they ask for a Social Security number(if any), I was in USA for a year and I got one when I was there but not sure if I need to write it on the form or not  , somebody help me please

.....Yes. If you have SSN, write it down.

Thanks for your answer , even if I am in my home country now and I came back a year ago ? I dont know if the social is still valid

You keep the same SSN for your whole life. Even if you leave the USA. This number is unique to you and is always yours. So you must include it.

if you have one, you use/ put it down. it will never change.

Do I need to write the information about my last I-94 or it is just if I am currently  in USA ( I am in my home country)

Once you are assigned a SSN that is for life. It doesn’t matter that it was years ago and you haven’t lived in the states since then. It’s still gonna be the same. If you have it write it down. If you don’t know what the number is you still say you’ve been assigned one but that you don’t know what the number is so you don’t get a duplicate. Having a SSN before coming to the states on a K1 makes it a lot easier to get a replacement card and health insurance, bank accounts, credit cards, etc.

Did you get your number because of a work Visa or other visa?   My wife has a SS# but still waiting on her EAD.  It says on the card "Depending on work authorization" or something to that effect, like it's valid until she gets authorization.   I would put it down anyways though.  Funny thing about SS#'s... they are issued according to the region that a person lives in.  We are in AZ,  Applied for her SS# in Cal,  and the number is Penn.  I can think of someone else who has a Penn. # but never lived there.  An Ex Pres..

Actually, ss#s are no longer by region. This all changed under the Obama administration after it was revealed he had a Connecticut ss#.  He never lived in that state and not sure if this was the reason it changed or not. Just seems fairly odd that it did change after the disput of his US citizenship and place of birth. The numbers issued today are random. Used to be you could tell where someone was from by the first 3 numbers of ss. For example, 252 was Georgia. 242 was NC. 042 was Connecticut. Having a previous ss# will make things much easier for OP.

That’s not what that means. That means that card is only valid with a work authorization, ie EAD card, because the person is not a permanent resident yet. After you become one, you can get a card that doesn’t say that.

Yes, I meant "invalid" in lieu of "Valid" as typed.  My typo, but yes, I agree..

My wife is applying for her social security card with the I-765. UGH should have gotten it before and not with the I-765. Now we have to wait for that to be completed before she gets hers. Mistake on our part but we will wait patiently
