JoeF Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 On F1, you would only qualify for an SSN if you have a job offer for a job on campus. Link to comment

catx Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Following on what JoeF correctly posted, you need your F-1 visa, current I-20 form, and the official job offer letter from the university / college you attend for a part-time (20 hours / week maximum while school is in session) on-campus job.

livliv Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 You will need a job offer and a letter from your school's DSO. Link to comment

catx Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 for F1 its not called SSN....its something else...I dont recollect. Maybe you are thinking of a TIN - Taxpayer Identification Number - that are issued by the IRS for people who do not qualify for a SSN, e.g. for dependents claimed on a tax return. On a F-1 visa you (will need to) get a SSN once you have a on-campus job offer from the university / college you are attending. You need a SSN to work (you cannot use a TIN for work). Link to comment
