SSN on B1/B2

[jaymakker]

I need a SSN for getting a California Letter for doing residency in California. What is the best way to get a social security number. I am currently on a visitor visa and I am planning to get an F1 or something else where I can get a social security number issued. Is there any other route or way to get a social security number. Please need help.

Thanks

SSN cannot be issued to tourists. You can apply once you are on F1.

Even with a F1 visa, you need to find a job on campus for 20 hours /week.
Then you will get letter that will allow you to apply for a ssn.
