Social Security Number for K2

[totup]

Can my wife's (K1) son (K2) get his SSN before the EAD (work permit) is granted? The reason I'm asking is that I signed him up for drivers ed during the summer and I think he needs the SSN in order to get his license.

No, but if you don't get the EAD within 90 days of the date on the I-797C receipt, make an InfoPass appt. at your local USCIS office to get the I-551 stamp in his passport.

No can do, the K-2 needs EAD or Green-Card. If the K-2 is young most just wait for the green-card.

Randy W: the I-551 stamp is an indication of a green-card, not EAD, from what I read the local USCIS offices wont even put a temp EAD stamp in the passport anymore.

You're right that the I-551 is the green card (sorry about that). From the EAD application,

Interim EAD: an EAD issued to an eligible applicant whenUSCIS has failed to adjudicate an application within 90 days ofreceipt of a properly filed EAD application or within 30 days ofa properly filed initial EAD application based on an asylumapplication filed on or after January 4, 1995. The interim EADwill be granted for a period not to exceed 240 days and is subjectto the conditions noted on the document.

 

I didn't read any further, but I assume you could take this application to an InfoPass appt.

 

 

That's academic, anyway. You'll get it within the 90 days.

You're learning the easy way - we just tossed them our second year's worth of EAD money.

Depending on the state an SSN may not be required. In Kansas you only need to show proof of legal status to get a Driver's License and if you do not have an SSN you have to sign a form stating you are not entitled to one. California on the other hand is the toughest place, proof of status gets you nothing, you need a green card.

I agree, Lucy needed not to show her SSN for her ID card from Texas. Texas does not require such. I would call the state's DMV before you proceed.
