T TjaSi Registered Users (C) Jan 4, 2003 #1 HELP & info please.............. I applied for a SSN today and was told they are not issued to F1 students anymore. How does a STUDENT open a bank account without SSN? How does a student get Medical Insurance - if Insurance companies insist on a SSN first? What now??

D dmn1 Registered Users (C) Jan 6, 2003 #2 SSN Issue Hello: You can file for a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). That would suffice for bank accounts etc but not for drivers license. In any case you need to get a TIN number for filing your tax returns even if you have no income. You can get the necessary form from IRS site. Usually they take a couple of weeks for this. Hope this helps D.
