i-129f and her past student visa info.

[nexgenasian]

Hi all,

My fiancee was a student when we first met. She had a social security #. She graduated and her student visa expired. She has been living back in her home country for 3 years now. I've visited her in her home country a few times and eventually we decided we should get married.

We plan on using a K1 visa. As I'm filling out the form, I'm a bit confused at the question about having a social security number. Should I fill it in with her social security number when she was a student or should I put N/A or none?

Thanks.

No you need to put her SSN as once you have one you always have one and just write on xtra paper the reason she received one .

Thanks for replying. Is saying I met her while she was studying in the USA on a student visa sufficient; question 18 on the i-129f? I mean it would make sense that when she studied here for 4 years she got a student visa with social security number right?

A lot of people get a SSN while they are in the U.S. on a student visa, even if they are there during a short time. People need it in order to get a driver's license and a bank account etc. and the USCIS are aware of this.

On question 18, it's probably better to give an answer that is a little bit more detailed than just one phrase. You can answer that question on a separate paper and just write something like "see attached statement" in the form. Somewhere around half a page should be enough, where you explain how you met and mention the times you've seen each other after that. There are examples on the internet you could take a look at.
