What’s highest on the list of things to-do after arriving in the US? To get married and proceed with the adjustment of status, Kristien needs a social security number. It’s the most basic form of identification next to a driver’s license. The Social Security Administration has a great FAQ section and has already answered my question: How does a K-1 visa holder apply for a SSN?

What’s really nice is the local office locator. I’ll take a day off from work and go with Kristien so we can do this important step together. Welcome to America–here’s some paperwork!
