I am preparing I485 for my wife and me, my wife just came to the states with H4. But Social Security Office reject to assign a SSN to "legal alien not allowed to work" according to new policy on March 3, 2002. They said, no working permission, no SSN. But INS need SSN for applying I485 and EAD. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

This is not new law....you should know this!

H4 dependent does not need social security nor I485 or any purposes. If you want to file your tax return ask IRS to issue her TIN number or tax id number so you can show her your dependent. Government agencies know what they are doing.
 
No Title

H4 doesnt need SSN. Are you new to this country. What were you doing all these years for filing income tax returns.

Dont be too naive
 
You don\'t need SSN number to file for your wife. You can file for your wife with TIN number. In cas

You don\'t need SSN number to file for your wife. You can file for your wife with TIN number. In case you don\'t have TIN Number then you can leave that place blank or say "Applied for TIN number"

Hope this helps
 
Thank you and everyone. I was really confused since company\'s attorney just gave me two I485 forms

 
 
Do as follows

In 485 form there is a column for SSN, which you could just ignore. Since your wife holds an H4, everything is simplified. Just go ahead with the form, fill in those APPLICABLE items.
 
What happen if forgot to write ssn on I-485??

Dear .....,

Pls reply what will happen if forgot to write ssn on I-485. I have a SSN which is not valid for work. Will I get into trouble if later I
have to apply for ssn after getting EAD???

I was looking at the Form SS-5 from the Social security office that
mentioned if I have ssn before!.

Thank you very much.
