SSN for AOS Application

[Florence and Tim 0]

Hello,

My fiancee has been here since July 22. We're getting married this Saturday. We want to file the I-485 and supporting documentation soon after. We just applied for a SSN number today, and they said it would take around two weeks to get it in the mail. My question is, do we NEED to file with the SSN number on the I-485? Is it really necessary? Or is that a detail that can get handled later?

Also, I just wanted to double check - as long as we've filed the I-485 before her 90 days are up, she does not have to leave U.S. Is that correct? Thanks a lot for your help!

SSN is not necessary in filing the I-485.

Yes, she doesn't have to leave after her I-94 expires. You don't even have to make the 90-days cut-off to submit the AOS as long as you marry within that period.

Florence and Tim,

You don't need the SSCard/number for the I-485 (or to file EAD/AP) - if you/he/she has a SS#, enter it in appropriate places on forms, otherwise leave those places black (or write N/A, when appropriate).

*As long as you got married before the 90 Days are up, she does not have to leave, no...slight correction; the requirement within the 90-days is marriage, not AOS..
