Fiance Visa: Social Security Card and Number
Once your fiance arrives to the United States, they will be given a small card which will be stamped at the airport called form I-94.
With this card, and your fiance’s passport, you will be able to go to the Social Security Administration office to request a social security card. This number, of course, will be very important to have here in the U.S., be sure to apply for a social security number quickly after your fiance’s arrival to the United States.
When we went to the Social Security Administration office, we did not have an appointment so we had to wait in line. The wait time was really not bad, probably no more than an hour.
Josue just needed to show his passport with his visa as well as his I-94 at the window where we were being served. They handed us a receipt as proof of our application. They said it would take a few days longer than normal because it has to go through a verification process for his immigration.
They processed Josue’s application and the card arrived to our house in about 3 weeks. It actually arrived much quicker than we had originally expected.
The only setback with the social security card is that it will say “Valid for work only with DHS Authorization”. When an employer asks for your social security card, you will also need to show them proof of permanent residency like a green card or a work permit card.
When you do receive your conditional permanent resident card, be sure to go back to the social security office to get this stipulation removed.
