hello, do you have to apply for it if you have a f3 visa or can you just go to your nearby social security office?

Hi Sir good day, planning to fly to guam for SSN trip. Just have a question. Is it possible for my 5 and 7 year old kids to have an ssn even if I just bring their passports and visa packets without them entering the USA or any other US territory? I think it is much cheaper that way. Thanks and God bless you!

I have seen all this video and I need your help I request a replacement for my social security card online I did all the steps as you show them but before I send my application I was helping a friend request a replacement when a explained to him I put my name in said application and as you show in the video I put the name of other people where it corresponds to the name of the father and mother I know that the form does not have to be sent but by mistake I did send it the system sent me an online control number that I really don't know what is but I need my social security car do you think that if I make a new application they can take legal action against me and accuse me of fraud when I personally go to the office

Would I be able to do this with an expired visa? It still hasn’t been a year since it expired though? Also what is the wait time to receive them at the moment?

It is required to have the I-94 ? Even if you have already your green card, when you apply for SSN ? . I hope you answer my questions. Thank you !

Can I have a replacement SS card without the “valid for work only with dhs authorization”? I just received my EAD card today.
