Sriramreddy Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi my wife came to us on h4 visa but she got her H1b approved recently and start on Oct 1. H1 approval notice has I-94 also.we went to ssn office to apply ssn with H1b approval notice, passport , offer letter and address proof. They denied that they won’t process ssn as they want EAD card. Not sure what do any suggestions? Quote Link to comment

newacct Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Maybe the reason is that she is not in H1b status yet, because it is not October 1 yet. I think she should try again after October 1, and make sure to NOT present the H4 I-94 or anything related to H4, and only present her H1b I-94 (which is part of the approval notice).

JoeF Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) She has to wait until the H1 kicks in. Right now she is on H4 and can't get an SSN unless she also has an EAD. Employers and their payroll systems know how to handle situations where an SSN has been applied for and not yet received. The employer has to pay her once the H1 kicks in, even if she doesn't have the SSN yet. Edited September 22, 2022 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
