EAD, SSN and Tax payer ID

My wife is on H4 right now (and therefore she can\'t get a SSN)
We\'ve recently applied for tax payer ID for tax purposes.

She got her EAD recently. Can she apply for SSN now?
If she gets SSN, what should we use for tax filing? - ssn or tax payer id?

she can get SSN

your wife should go and apply for a SSN at the local office
use this SSN number when filing your tax return.

your wife could have gotten her SSN earlier when on H4 (the reason could have been for her to get a drivers license, or because she needed it for you guys to file a tax return)
but she would have needed to get a new SSN card anyways when she got EAD.

No Title

wudan,

Yes, your wife can get SSN now using EAD. By the time you file your taxes if she gets her SSN then use it else use ITIN. Also note that while applying for SSN I guess you need to specify that she has ITIN now, and also once you get SSN you need to notify IRS that she got SSN now.

Goodluck

but she has applied for ITIN...she didn\'t get it yet.

if the SSN form asks for ITIN, what should we do?
 
EAD not received

hi,

my husband applied for I485 in august for the both of us. EAD and Advance Parole were also filed with the same. My husband received his EAD card. However, My EAD and advance parole applications have been mispalced. Now the lawyer has given us a set of letters, my 485 receipts and asked to go to the local INS off for the EAD.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
 
radha, yes...

My husband has got his AP but neither his nor my EAD have arrived and my AP hasn\'t either. Our lawyer just replied us today saying that he will send us the necessary paperwork if we want and we will have to file for the interim EAD card at the local INS office. So you\'re not alone, apparently this happens. :)
 
Cobwebs! The one that has twin EAD case with mine! You still there!

How are you? How is your I-485 case? Happy new year!
You, Pump and I filed 485/EAD at almost the same time.

Well, the interim EAD experience is now like distant past ... We are still waiting for the 485 approval.
