Received I-140 Approval Notice. Not yet received EAD Cards. But my wife is leaving to India for couple of months. Can I apply for her SSN with I-140 approval notice?

What are the documents required for applying SSN for Spouse?

Thanks

No, You can not apply on behalf of your wife. She needs to be present when you apply for SSN.

You need EAD card and one photo ID ( Like driver licence, Passport)

You may visit www.ssa.gov for further details
 
You can't get SSN by showing your 140 approvals.

a "work permit" required to obtain SSN.

however your EAD card will arrive in 3-4 business days... so wait and apply.. SSN - you will get in two weeks...

for going to India, she doest not require a SSN. unless otherwise she is going to work for a american company in india who is going to recruit her on his/her US pay roll.

so cool

Thanks for your responses. She is leaving in 2 weeks time. So before she is leaving, i want to apply for her SSN.

She will start working immediately after she return back to USA.

Why? She can apply after she returns. SSA will ask for proof of work authorization before it can issue SSN.

She will start working immediately after she return back to USA.
SSN is not required to begin employment. When she applies for SSN ask SSA to provide a receipt of SSN application. The employer should be shown that receipt until the actual number is available.
Thanks
