EAD 485 applied for spouse, SSN question

[raiderNation]

I have my EAD,140 approved and waiting on my 485.
I got married recently and have since applied for my Spouse's EAD & I485,
how do I apply for her Social Security Number, she at this moment
does not have her TAX ID or SSN. Any suggestions on how to go about
it.
thanks

She needs to wait for her EAD approval for SSN. Without that she won't get SSN (assuming she is in dependent visa - L2/H4).

However, she can get a Tax ID now. You need to request ID from IRS (see IRS website).

IRS won't give out an ITIN until you file the request with your 2004 tax returns in April of 2005; I'd just wait for the EAD to come through, get the SSN and not bother with the ITIN at all.
