I have an interview schedule soon for my GC (petitioned by my USC wife) and was wondering about this...
So I have a bit of a complicated issue regarding my SS# and although it has no significant problems, I would prefer not to be bothered much about it during the interview.
I was wondering would the officer ask for the SS card? From your experiences and knowledge, in what extend do they even care and discuss about the SS card? (given that there are no reason to be suspicious of anything wrong)
All of the SS# spots were left blank on all applications by the way, but I believe that is completely normal as most people who apply for GC do not have one anyways, right?
If you are really wondering about why I hesitate about my SS#, which I foresee someone asking... I was brought to US as a young child illegally but now married, but my parents have somehow managed to obtain me an SS#. I don't have a good relationship with my parents so I don't talk to them really, but as far as I know, the SS# itself is completely legitimate but it was made with the basis of an illegitimate visa and it says "valid for work only with INS authorization" on it. I decided not to apply for a brand new SS# with the EAD that I recently received, because I have used my old SS# for everything in my life thus far, such as in all school records and everything else. It worked for me with no problem because like I said, the SS# itself is legitimate. Another reason why I didn't apply a new one with my EAD is because that would technically give me 2 SS#, which I'm not supposed to have, and I wasn't sure what actions the SSA would take if their data showed my old (current) SS# and the new application with the same name, address, etc, etc....... Anyways, that's just the background info, if it helps answer my question, thanks!
