My fiancee finally entered the US on Oct 4th. We went to the SSA office yesterday, and when our number got called, we were informed that when my fiancee entered the country, the govt agency automatically applied for her SSN, and it would show up in 6 weeks. That they didn't want to process anything because someone could end up with two SSN numbers. I believe the clerk automatically assumed we were there on a spouse visa, and from what I read, that is the process for CR1 visas. Everything I have read about a K1 visa is that you have to apply 14 days before the I-94 expires or request an SSN when applying for an AoS. I would like to get her SSN number as soon as possible for a dozen reasons. Is it true that it is auto-applied for, or was this clerk poorly trained and misinformed? If I had thought about it while speaking with the clerk, I would have challenged the information and/or asked for a supervisor. 

 

On another note, do we need to wait for something to pop up on the SAVE case check website before going? The clerk tried to enter information from the I-94 and said nothing was coming up but I'm not sure which website or program they were using. I'm not sure if that would have solved the issue either and they would have noticed they were wrong. If anyone could please help with these questions so we could get this extremely important step completed. Thanks!
