If they violated their Visa or Drop off from their school or their company .... can they use their ssn to work at other place? What would happened? can they pa taxes with their ssn? thanks
Yes, you can still pay taxes with an SSN while out of status. It's crazy Uncle Sam doesn't care whether you're in the country illegally, as long as he gets his taxes, he's A Okay!
Hi SS, thanks so much for the great content. What do you when you lost your SSN card and number - I don't remember any of the numbers. Got it using my J1 visa. Thanks
In many cases you can find your SSN on tax documents you've received such as your W2 or 1099. As for the SSN card, if you've lost one, then you'll have to get a replacement from the SSA office.
Hi brother. I am a student in US and want to apply for SSN. I am doing a short language course and my school only allow on the campus. But at the moment there are no jobs on the campus. So, How can I apply for social security apart from this.
What are the exact wordings in a denial letter ❓The words on mine said “this is not a proof of ineligibility” which is confusing because I want a letter which says I am not currently eligible. Due to the same reason, the DMV did not accept this letter. I am on H4 visa.
The OPT EAD is a work authorization for F1 students in the US that comes in the form of a card. If the start date on the card has been reached, but the expiration date has not been reached, then the card is said to be valid.
I am an international F1 student looking to get a loan. I do not have SSN either ITIN number but at the moment I only need a SSN to apply for a loan. Is it possible to do it? if it so how could I do it? My short goal is to get a SSN to obtain a loan and my long term goal is to get an EAD and a SSN. How long does it take?
Hello Juan :) I am in the same situation as you. I want to get a student loan with an F1 visa, but I am not a permanent resident and I do not have a cosigner, so it is difficult to get a loan. how did you solve it ..?
Hey I got a cousin that was a foreign student back in 2013 and he got a ssn with “DHS authorization only”’, he went back to his home land few years after and now he came back to the US in 2020(no he’s not a US citizen nor have a green card) but still have his old ssn card but cannot use it to do anything(get a work or other transactions), is there a pause or block on it because he’s not not a citizen or green card holder?
hi i just got my ssn but it has restrictions like to apply for a credit card to build credit ..i can not use this ssn with dhs autorization to build credit? and im not a studetn
For certain immigrants, the restrictions on the SSN require you to obtain a work authorization before the SSN can be used for an I-9 verification process. In terms of applying for credit cards, you should not have any issues applying for a credit card with a restricted SSN.
How do I get a social security number? The English Language Institute refused to give me a job as a guest on a university campus. Is there another solution?
Hey! I just wanted to ask because I have a friend that got denied in his OPT. Let's say you just got denied for your OPT. Can you use the SSN online? For example, like any hyper wallet like for business accounts to receive payments for an independent business you are creating?
If you're denied OPT, you should not be performing any business/work activities in the US. Instead you should either appeal your denial with USCIS - with the help of a licensed attorney - or immediately depart the United States.
I got my J1 visa. But not in US yet. I have a signed job offer from the company in Wyoming. But i am not going to go that State. Instead i want to stay in NY (breaking my visa sponsor's rule). Am i still eligible to get ssn in NY and work for other companies in ny. Or do i have to go to Wyoming to get ssn and come back. Is getting snn mandatory for me?
Maybe you should go to Wyoming because if your sponsor is there and instead you go to another state, the sponsor can call it off or report to immigration officials
I am talking about gettin a SSN without the employment verification form since my school doesn’t offer on campus job instead they provided to me a letter saying I could Get an off campus job without accepting my course. I would like to know if that could substitute in order to apply for a SSN
hii! as my name has 27 characters they removed one letter in ssn card also said in ssn they can place only 26 characters. is that ok?? if they remove a letter from my name like that?
As a J1 camp counselor, your required documents are similar to those of a J1 student. You can check out our blog post describing the documents needed here sojourningscholar.com/getting-ssn-as-an-international-student/
While you are enrolled, you can apply for your SSN after getting an on-campus job or off-campus job AND receiving the approval from your DSO. Not sure what you mean by taking a leave from a course.
@Ivan Good question, it depends on the requirements of the state ID issuing department. Some states might require you provide an SSN letter of ineligibility within 60 days of you receiving one. I'd recommend that students get this letter shortly before going to get their state ID or Drivers license if they live in a state that requires an SSN to obtain a license or state ID.
@@SojourningScholar hello bruh, you stated that with the social security number you will be eligible to apply for a student loan.. i want a some details ... because i wanted to be an international student the school i had doesnt give financial aid to international student . also i ask about loans and they said unless i have a co signer which i dont have
@@kngchurches8218 Having an SSN does not necessarily make you eligible for all student loans. I'm referring specifically to loans from US banks or US credit card companies. Generally international students are not eligible for financial aid in the US.
My sponsor is asking for a "SSN application letter" which I´ll recieve from the SS office, but I don´t understand at what part of the whole process Im gonna have it. Can ypu help me please? :(

Hi how to ger non eligible certificate for driving license
Hey! Do you know by any chance wich states approoves the denial letter at making a drivers license?
Hi brother. I am a student in US and want to apply for SSN. I am doing a short language course and my school only allow on the campus. But at the moment there are no jobs on the campus. So, How can I apply for social security apart from this.
You will need to first secure a job to apply for SSN.
@@SojourningScholar How will it become possible?
What are the exact wordings in a denial letter ❓The words on mine said “this is not a proof of ineligibility” which is confusing because I want a letter which says I am not currently eligible. Due to the same reason, the DMV did not accept this letter. I am on H4 visa.
You should ask for an SSN letter of ineligibility and why you need one.
You show social security , link now, online apply website?
You apply at SSA office.
thank you so much man
Happy to help!
What did you mean about Valid OPT EAD card?
Could you explain about that?
The OPT EAD is a work authorization for F1 students in the US that comes in the form of a card. If the start date on the card has been reached, but the expiration date has not been reached, then the card is said to be valid.
Thank you
You're welcome!

My short goal is to get a SSN to obtain a loan and my long term goal is to get an EAD and a SSN.
How long does it take?
It depends on the loan provider. There are some lenders who allow foreigners apply for a loan without having an SSN.

That's interesting. To my knowledge the social security number never expires, even for foreigners.
Very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad to be of service to you.
Do i need to book an appointment if im just going for a denial letter
With COVID restrictions, you might have to schedule an appointment. So it's best to contact your nearest SSA office.
I got my EAD card but not my SNN!, any advice please?
Did you apply with OPT application?
Can you fill the form again if u think u made a mistake
Do I need to waive the 2 years residency requirement of my J-1 visa first before being eligible to get a SSN?

You can't get an EAD unless you apply and are approved for OPT.

Are you confused about the SSN application process? Drop you comments here.
does the SNN denial letter for F-1 students has expiration date? DMV usually ask for SNN when renewing your driver license.

I'd recommend that students get this letter shortly before going to get their state ID or Drivers license if they live in a state that requires an SSN to obtain a license or state ID.
