Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.
How to get a social security is a concern for all immigrants coming to the U.S. The first thing an employer asks for is a social security number, and many times if you don't have it, it means you are not authorized to work, therefore you are not accepted for employment.
Social security is very important for our people.
Generally you need to prove to the social security administration that you have the right to work in the country. When people obtain a social security card work permit by any means on a legal basis, they go with that card to the social security office to ask to be given the number. Now, they are given a social security number, but it is not authorized to work unless it is presented in conjunction with the work permit card.
Many years ago, the social security department easily gave out numbers. There are many immigrants who 15, 20 years ago got a social security number without a work permit and have been using it for years. In fact, they even leave the country, re-enter and continue to use their social security number, which is still valid.
However, nowadays, if you want a new social security number, you will have to have a work permit.
A recent development is that Immigration is including in the form a way to automatically obtain social security when you apply for social security. residence. They themselves in conjunction with the social security will give you an insurance that will be of permanent validity at the time you are finally approved for residency.
While you are waiting, you should run with the work permit they give you while your residency application is pending, so that they will give you one for temporary use in conjunction with your work permit.
