How do I replace ITIN with SSN

SSN for child , help

Hi guys,

I filed for SSN for my wife as soon as we filed the 485.
But we didnt file for SSN for my child, Can we file it ?
I thought they will ask for 2 IDs and she has got only passport, probably thats the reason i didnt file SSN for her.

Thanks
 
lallo kumar,

I didn't quite understand when you say you filed for your wife SSN and not the child.

This is the best I know.

After you file 485 you can apply for an EAD. I know you can apply for your wife. I am not sure you can if your child is old enough to be eligible for work, as it is an authorization for work. Once you have an EAD in hand you can walk into Social security office and request for a SSN, and they mail it normally in a weeks time.

If your child do not have a SSN , You can walk in to (no appointment) local IRS office and request for a TAX ID and they send you a TAXID ( I think it takes a month , but that was few years back which I did) and you can use it for all purposes with IRS.

In fact you can even use that number even for other trivial things as many a cases they look for a 9 digit number to fill in for SSN and this is a 9 digit number similar to SSN.
