SSN CARD AFTER EAD

[HappyHappyJoyJoy 1]

Greetings All,

 

Sharing some information with everyone at the same time have a question if anyone was in the similar situation as I am in.  So my spouse has got the green light to receive her EAD within 10 days from her notification.  The process took about 6 1/2 months all together for those wondering (in VA).  
 

With the good news, as I have seen most here, she did NOT check the box to request the SSN card once the EAD passed.  The “not checking part on the initial form” I won’t get into, but regardless, our approach now obviously is to file with the SSA office and get it that way once the EAD arrives.  
 

With all that said, has anyone did it the same way and is there any different process you would apply in this situation other than going to the office like the DMV and applying?  
 

I am assuming an EAD, her previous form applied and her ID should be good enough to apply.  
 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can apply for the SSN with the EAD. We had issues getting the SSN card when my husband arrived on K-1 visa, so we had to wait for EAD. We hadn't checked the SSN part of the form either. I believe we brought the EAD card, his foreign passport, I-94 record, and his foreign birth certificate.

Oh… when you did apply thru SSA, how long did your process take to receive the card?

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Social Security Numbers subforum.

There is only ONE way to apply for SSN in person and that is through SSA. DMV doesn't issue SSN.

If you read it again, I was stating we are planning to walk in like the DMV.

Then all good. Just make sure give them a call before walking in. SSA staffs/offices are taking advantage of this covid times more than anyone by not allowing walk in even when restrictions are lifted already.
