Hello everyone,
I am a H-1B visa holder, my wife just arrived at US several days ago, we are living in massachusetts. We went to the local social security office to apply for a social security number for her, but her application was denied, and we were told because she is a H-4 visa(depedent visa), she is not allowed to be assigned a social security number. But if she can't have a social security number, can she get a health insurance?(my insurance can cover her), can she get a driver lisense, can she take classes at university? And I heard now if a H-4 wants to change to a F-1, he(she) has to apply a F-1 outside of US, is this true?
Any info is helpful, Thank you in advance.....
