How do I receive a letter stating I have no credit score. When I go to Experian, I am required to input a social security number ( which I obviously don’t have)

What does your credit score have to do with your Adjustment of Status? Who is asking for a credit score? If you do not have a SS number, you will not have a credit score. So if you're being asked for a credit score simply explain you do not have a social security number.

Who is asking for credit score?  Wasn't part of my AOS package.  Just curious, you didnt try and apply for a SS number after entering the U.S.?

I-944 asks for credit score or letter stating you don’t have one.   I-944 is part of the AOS package

A Credit Report is required by the I-944.

 

Not having a SSN doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a credit score. You can start building your credit without a SSN. I was an authorized user on my spouse's credit card, no SSN was required, and that helped me build my credit score.

You're gonna have to mail them a form/letter requesting a credit report or call them. The reply will say they have nothing with your name.

We just threw my husband's SSN into Credit Karma and printed the page off showing that he didn't have anything to show. Sent that with our I-944 and had no issues. We didn't bother trying to get in touch with any of the credit bureaus.

 

You can choose to go whatever route as your milage will vary.

Is writing a sworn letter stating I have no credit report because I have no SSN number along with screenshots of me attempting to retrieve one with all 3 companies enough?
