“Who is responsible for informing aliens….”?   
 

YOU are 100% responsible for informing yourself.   It’s part of adulting.

Yes probably but I be the people that are planning on being mother/ housewives like myself they might be lost on this one 

I'm not planning on working that's why wasn't looking for ead just trying to get the green card so I can stay long term here

Unfortunately, US government does not have resources to allocate advisors to each immigrant.

 

You can use VisaJourney to learn more about immigration process. Just read K-1 forums, guides, ask any questions, community is happy to help. Ask husband, his relatives, your friends (especially if they're immigrants). With latest technology, you can ask Chat GPT and similar. If none of this helps, you can also get a free or paid consult with immigration lawyers where you can ask as many questions as you like.

Part of being a responsible mother/housewife is having backup plans in case your spouse becomes unable to work (has an accident, loses his job, or many other common life events that can happen to anyone at any time).

 

Anyway, what's done is done. The VisaJourney forums are full of info from people at every stage of the process. You have the opportunity to research, plan ahead and learn from others' experiences. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Girlll getting a job here is not very difficult this country is largely built by the work of people that have no papers whatsoever ,there's plenty of options and making a back up plan isn't on my mind at all

Stand alone Employment Authorization  EAD.  and travel Authorization. AP. Optional but recommended to file at the same time as the AOS.. no fee when co filed.. they are processed much faster than AOS and allow you to work and leave the country and report if needed before the AOS is completed 

 

 

Thanks !

Any legit job that pays enough to raise a family will ask for your SSN. And you use the SSN to properly report your income to the IRS. If neither of those things interests you, all I can say is good luck, girlll

Wow just wow can't believe it

If you filed without legal assistance: you. You chose to carry the burden of research. If you hired help, then the person you hired should've been experienced enough to help guide you.

Since "they" can make it fine without a SSN, why are you so worried? 

Be as resourceful as they are, you'll find assistance and answers.

 

Best of luck!

I've been a stay at home mother and wife, as well as a board-certified oncology RN with 25 years of experience, so:  I can confidently say that being a non-working spouse/mom is absolutely no easier.  Nor does it have lower responsibility.  Running a household and keeping children alive and happy is harder work, with higher stakes. Don't underestimate your worth, or your obligations.

Have you already submitted the I-485 and are still waiting for the green card?

But did not submit the I-765?

Or are you only submitting the I-485 now? 

Why have you not been able to receive or apply for SSN now? With your GC you can go to your local social security office and apply for one if it did not come automatically.

This is from Pushbrk in another subject (forgot kids I130) but I think it applies here also. 

"As an aside.  This is another caution to those who insist everybody should do this themselves.  Only those with the aptitude and motivation to carefully study forms and instructions, are able to do this on their own.  That's lots of folks, but not everybody."

This is really suspicious.  Your spouse will save a lot of taxes by filing married jointly,  especially since you have no legal work. To do that, you need a SSN or an ITIN number (if you are not eligible for a SSN) which you can apply for with your joint taxes. The ITIN number can be used for opening bank accounts etc    

 

It makes no sense your spouse would file taxes any other way

 

And any legit employer will tell you to get one, google searches and the SSN website will easily how, tons and tons of information ...not to mention your spouse should know very well ...

When you were filling out your AOS forms, there was a box on it that asked if you wanted them to apply for your SSN for you. 

 

 

I take it you did not follow VJ's guides and found some other site to follow. 

Here is the link check to the guides 

 

Thanks!
