Hi there,

Ok im freaking out...my husband received his greencard for the US april 2009..we are still living in canada because were waiting for his company to transfer him (aside from that mess) hes not working in the US he is just working in canada, he had a social security # in college which was 5 yrs ago, not sure if he has one now, is there anyway i can find out if he does?

if he doesnt i have to apply again for him, and what do i do with his tax filing for this yr? he hasnt worked in the US?? help please!!

Thank you so much!!
 
If he obtained a SSN while in College, that should still be valid as it is issued only once per person per lifetime.
Second, if he got his GC in April 2009 and still living outside the US, he runs the risk of his GC been revoked unless he has an approved application to preserve residence or a reentry permit.
 
Hes been back to the states at least 6 times for sometimes 3 weeks at a time...we opened up a bank acct there were waiting for his company to transfer him, our intent is to move to the US.

Does he still have to file for taxes in the US if hes not working there yet?
 
And regardless of whether he visited or worked in the US or not, he MUST file a US tax return for 2009. All US citizens and GC holders are subject to IRS tax filing requirements.

His SSN is good forever.
 
So we found out he only had an EIN number which is something the govt gives to students who r from another country doing work in the US, he wasnt a resident at that time to get a social security #....so what should he do now? he doesnt have a ssn # how can he file taxes, he became a resident or green card holder April 2009...can someone please help us!

If he checked the proper box on his Permanent Resident application form, he should get his SSN card sent automatically to the US address he provided on the application. Check to see if he received any additional mail to that address.
