Good morning everyone!

I arrived in the US on a K1 visa, we're gonna get merried on feb 2nd.

Can I get a SSN before marriage? Where do I applyfor that?

Thank you all

First, congrats in advance.😊

Secondly, you can as I did the same (got my SSN before marriage, basically 2 weeks after my arrival).

After marriage, you go back with your marriage certificate to change to your married name (if you're taking up your husband's last name).

Good luck.

Thanks,

The problem is that my I-94 is not updated and at CBP they told me that it won't update since I am not a visitor but an immigrant, my travel history is updated but the I-94 has the 2017 arrival date as the most recent!

When did you arrive?

The I-94 should update because the K1 is not an immigrant visa....

If you arrived recently then wait a couple of days and check the I-94 again. If not I think you can call the CBP and try work with them to update your I-94.

I arrived on dec 18th.

I called cbp and they told me it won't update! The travel history is updated but the I-94 is not!

Btw currently CBP employees are unpaid, some are not working because of the partial government shutdown. It might slow you down, but I am sure that there MUST be a way to get a correct I-94 for you.

 

I assume you already checked the FAQ for the i94 website, but if not I would try to go by to POE in your state and try to get an I-94 if not USCIS might give you one if you fill out the I-102...

What should a traveler do if he or she was admitted incorrectly to the United States?

"If a traveler was admitted incorrectly to the United States, the traveler should visit a local CBP Deferred Inspection Site or Port of Entry (POE) to have his or her admission corrected. A list of Deferred Inspection Sites and POEs can be found on CBP's website, http://www.cbp.gov, under the "Ports" link at the bottom of the page. If a traveler was issued an incorrect I-94 by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the traveler should refer to the Form I-102, which can be found at http://www.uscis.gov/forms."

Thanks, I'll go to the local CBP office as soon as possible and try to get an answer!
