Sunder G Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) I came to US in july 2023 on F2. Recently my change of Status got approved (from F2 to H1) and i got my I-797A also(with the updated I-94 info). Now that i visited SSN office couple of times and they kept rejecting my application. Stating that they cant give SSN for F-2 and they need to see the updated H1 status in I-94 Website. Please suggest. Edited December 7, 2023 by Sunder G typo error Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 It will never show up on that website. You should not be looking at that website. The CBP's I-94 website only has I-94s from entry, issued by CBP. When your Change of Status was approved, you got an I-797A approval notice, which has a new paper I-94 as part of the page. This is a paper I-94 issued by USCIS, and will never show up on CBP's electronic I-94 website. This new paper I-94 (when it reaches its start date) supersedes any previous I-94, including the electronic I-94 you got at entry, which will now be void. You should be showing only the new paper I-94 when applying for your SSN. There is no reason why they would look at the electronic I-94 website which will not have your paper I-94. Also, you can start working while waiting for your SSN. Quote Link to comment
