Dave&Hong Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 When we came through the POE they took all paperwork and told her that the visa in her passport was her ID card. Is that all we need to get Hong her SSN? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yes passport with an I-551 stamp, birth cert, and marriage cert, and another form of ID needed when applying for SSN. Note wait at least 2 weeks after entry to the USA before applying. To apply for a Social Security number: Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and Show us documents proving: Immigration status; (I-551 stamp) Work eligibility; (I-551 stamp) Age; and (Birth Cert, Passport) Identity. (Passport) [*] Take your completed application and original documents to your local Social Security office . http://www.ssa.gov/ss5doc/ http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ Link to comment
