Social security number issues

[Axys 0]

Me and my now spouse have been together in the U.S. for two months now, ever since I arrived in August. We filed for me to get an SSN as soon as I could (2 weeks after entry), since we knew I was going to need it to be added to the lease. We were supposed to start the adjustment of status process a while ago: we have all the documents ready. Except, of course, that the i-485 has a question on whether or not I was ever issued a social security card/number. On paper, I have, but I never received it. I was told to wait six weeks before I went back to the office. I did. I went back in a week ago and they told me I needed to wait two more weeks for a replacement card, as the first was lost in the mail. My K1 status expires in early November. I desperately need to finish these files, I don't want to wait and end up being here illegally. I don't know what to do anymore. Do I just send the files as they are and tell USCIS I was never issued a social security card, and to make them issue me a new one? Will that be a problem? I'm at a loss here. Please help

You don't need the physical card. If you know the SSN, just use it and don't request new SSN. The checkbox on I-485 is to request number if you don't have one, not the card. Deal with SSA for card issue.

That's the thing, I don't know the SSN. I've tried to see if there was a way to see it online, but the platform seems to require my SSN for the login. Am I just supposed to send the petition in then, and not wait until I get an SSN/card?

I-485 doesn't require SSN AFAIK

Did you try asking SSA to write down your SSN in-person?

Not yet. I guess we'll have to try that tomorrow
