Hey guys and gals When I got here From Mexico I was 1yr and 7 months my sister and I were Giving a SS but it says NOT VALID FOR WORK ,and my dad was given a work permit. Do you think if I'm approved I will still have my same SS number?

Yes, your SSN won't change at all. Once you obtain a SSN from SSA, you have that number for a life time, no matter how long ago you received it. The most important thing to note is that it would have "NOT Valid for work" eshi on the card until you become naturalized citizen.

you number will not change, however, what will change is what the SSN card will say on the bottom.

it will change from "Not Valid for Employment" to “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION.”

also, when one becomes a PR, none of those terms will appear on the SSN card. it will look just like everyone else's SSN who is a USC.

Thanks

But theres another problem I don't have my social any more i lost it a while back i only have the copy and I could never claim it lost because im not from here

What do you think will happen?

[pswa83 302]

who said that you couldnt claim it as lost? how long has it been since its been lost?

once you have that number, it's yours FOREVER. i would, still write it done when you apply for the new SSN.

also, i would, if possible, get a credit history on your number. if lost, there is the possibility of it being used by someone else and ruining your credit. and that's the last thing you need when trying to start your life off.

Its been like 8 yrs now, and I thought I couldnt clame it because I didnt have a Birth certificate from here?

& Oh my Gosh I never thought of that im Going to do that ASAP! thanks

[pswa83 302]

that shouldnt matter. i dont think . how did you get the SSN, in the first place? like through family or another avenue? (sorry if i'm being noisy)

since it's been that long since its been lost, i dont think filing any kid of police report will do any good. i know on the SSN application it ask, if you ever been issued a SSN before so you'll have to list it on there. i'm just not sure if you'll have to show the actual card. let me ask a friend who also had a SSN before DACA what she did when she applied for her new card.

lol don't worry , well Im not too sure But when my dad applied for work permit in 1994 ( idk how ) but he put he had 2 daughters and we just got our SSN

[pswa83 302]

ok, the answer is that you dont need to take your old SSN card. she just wrote down her # on the app and that was it.

so, i guess when you're approved you can just write it down and thats it
