    Guidance please for SSN application

    in Social Security Numbers

    Posted

    This happens a lot. Sadly every Social Security Administration office (and employee) is different and some can be wrong.

     

    Technically, you are 100% allowed to get a Social Security Number after marriage, as long as you have more than two weeks left on your status. 

    Here are some comments on reddit of people who managed to do it:

    In your case, I'd presume the SSA knew that she was married because of a name change? If so, be sure to bring all required documents PLUS the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate acts as proof of name change, so the  SSA can match the passport and i-94 to the new name. Like one comment of the example said, stand your ground and insist they try to create it. If they refuse, try another SSA.

     

    Thank you! I appreciate your response.

    Thank you everyone for your responses!

    They will have to submit separate applications.  To my knowledge, there is no derivative or group tourist visas.

     

    EDIT:  They should apply as soon as possible.  In many places the wait for a tourist visa is up to a year or more.  In Ukraine it is about 8 months - luckily our nephew applied in November 2021 and was able to snag an interview in May 2022 - 7 months.

    Thank you so much!

    Each adult must apply individually, even if they plan to travel together. Each applicant's situation is judged individually and unfortunately there's not 3rd party add on or "accompaniment" visa for visitors.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

     

    I want my mom and my sister to visit me here in the US just for a month this Fall, please help me with some of my questions:

     

    Should they apply separately for a tourist visa?

    Or is it possible that my mom be the main applicant and my sister will be her 3rd party? My mom is a senior citizen and would need someone to accompany her. 

     

    TIA 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Pros vs. Cons of US Citizenship

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Pros:

     

    NOT having to deal with immigration paperwork every 10 yrs or so 

    NOT having to pay yet another fee for the renewal of GC in essence its more cost efficient 

    They also said SS benefits changes when you become a citizen (that’s what I remembered during my oath taking)

    Cons:

    You’d lose your citizenship if dual is not permitted

    Do I as the US husband need to go to the interview? Is it required or suggested? We have been very lucky to date, My wife did her initial K1 Interview in Philippines and I attended that one. But her 2 year and 10 year Greencard she didn't have to do an interview.

     

     

    based on the notice to appear for an interview the only party allowed to get in is the applicant. interpreters need to be available on the phone.my husband waited for me inside the car

    Take whatever paperwork you have as evidence of marital union. In terms of properties, My understanding is it should be both under your names if you are to present these dox. If that’s not available Im pretty sure that you have other are dox available on your end as proof of marital union.

    When I was interviewed yday, I brought everything that I can including holiday cards mailed to both of us but the officer didn’t even asked for it. But it is always better to over prepare than go for an interview under prepared.

     

    Good luck!

    Ending my Immigration Journey w/a Grateful ​💖 ​

    My Immigration is officially done!!!

     

    My N400 experience was both exciting and nerve wracking!

    The goal to ensure that your paperwork is sufficient down to the studying the citizenship material was taxing but was ALL worth it!

    I had my citizenship interview today at the Milwaukee, WI field office. My application was under the 3 yr rule. 

    I arrived 1:15pm per instruction from the appointment letter. Check in procedure was smooth and organize. I was called exactly 130pm. The IO asked for my DL,GC and Passport. He started with the Civics test and answered all of the questions. Reading and Writing tests were completed without any issue. He went over my form and just asked me a few questions. He asked if I was working and replied that I work as a CSA at a utility company. He said it must be a tough job. He asked if I get yelled a lot? We ended up chatting about the nature of my job coz I told him that we respond to emergencies and outages too.

    I informed him that I need to change my response for group membership coz I said no yet Im a member of a labor union, he said not to worry about it and then handed me the results form after having me sign a few documents!

    I was out after 10 minutes! He didn’t even ask for any of my documents!

    Later on, my case was updated to advising me of my oath of ceremony scheduled!

     

    I WOULD HAVE NOT MADE IT WITHOUT THE HELP OF EVERYONE HERE IN VJ! 

    Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your experiences and knowledge! 

     

    God bless you all and more power!

     

     

     

    Q13 of Part 12 of N400 form

    I am surprised you didn’t get an RFE.  
     

    While it is likely you will be asked about this at your interview, just in case the IO overlooks it, it is critical you point out your mistake  at the interview.  
     

    Otherwise you risk delays in your case.  I wouldn’t even rule out denaturalization down the road depending how insane society gets.   I mean they are canceling Dr Seuss, Lincoln, and Grant now.  
     

     

    Im surprised myself. Im not sure if this is glitch coz when filing online, it wont even let you go through if your miss a question. 
    Thank you for your response.

    Q13 of Part 12 of N400 form

    in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Hi, 

    I need your help/thoughts about my situation.

    I filed online for N400 last October, got a notice to appear for an interview this April 15. As I was reviewing the snapshot of my application I just realized that I didn’t answer Q13 which was asking about Nazi government. I couldn’t imagine how I could have missed this coz when filing online, it would have not gone through if I skipped a question and besides I wasn’t born yet on those years mentioned in the question.

    Will this pose as a problem during my interview? Or could this possibly be a reason for a denial?

     

    Please help.

    N400 Online Filing / Uploading of Documents

    I had not experienced that, but try to check the below possible fixes:

    - whichever browser you used (i.e firefox, chrome, internet explorer, MS Edge...) try another one

    - make sure each file you upload isn't too big. For instance if you scanned many documents in one big file, it may be too big. Consider making multiple documents of smaller sizes.

     

    I hope that helps.

    I was using I/E. I think I uploaded too many, I dont know. I will try it again later. Thank you
