Hello everyone, I think I have my answer from reading the board but my situation is not common so I want to double check prior to filing.
I (us citizen) married my wife (foreign) in via the Utah online wedding process and filed I-130 with USCIS in April 2024. My wife was previously here (Dec 2023) via the k-1 via process and obtained her ssn while here. We didnt get married here and she left prior to the expiration of her visa to return to her country.
She isn’t work at the moment, she and my step son live in the philippines. She has SSN, he does not. We were married in April of this year and I live and work here in the USA.
I know that I have to file MFJ, and since my stepson doesnt have a ssn and isnt living here I cannot claim him but my question is this.
Is her SSN still valid since she left and it was issued while she was here under the k1 visa that is now invalid? I know that normally a ssn never expires but hers states "not valid for work" so I dont know if this makes a difference or not.
Any information is appreciated. Thank you.
