answers would be greatly appreciated. thanks you!
Answer:
SSN are just for citzens... what you want is a tax identification number... they will give you that if your a resident... legal or otherwise... so when you do your taxes thats what you put down.... and i believe thats what you put down when filling out applications when it asks for a SSN... if not... if you get your visa to legally work in the US FIRST... then they'll assign you a social...
i don't know your immigration status, so
plz contact a qualified immigrant attorney.
good luck.
They're called "taxpayer identification numbers" (TINs) for non-citizens.

Call Social Security and find out what is required. You may have to contact ICE or DHS if you don't have a work visa. I believe that is what is required to work here.
I WILL NOT TELL YOU.GET YOUR BENEFITS FROM YOUR OWN COUNTRY. HOW DID YOU CROSS OUR BORDERS? WAITING FOR REPLY.
Did you come to this country legally? It doesn't sound like it!
If that is the case, how dare you come to the US and think you are getting a free ride! Americans work hard for their money and it is people like you that are taking advantage of a system that you aren't even legally entitled to!
You are the worst of the worst in my eyes! Go Home!
Please don't dip into my SS benefits. They are too small for Illegals to use part of them.
What visa did you come in on? If you have a green card I would think that you were given some number, that would probably be it but I would definitely talk with a lawyer to make sure things are done proper.
Why are you ineligible to work in the US? Are you in the country illegally?
If you are a legal immigrant, you can get a SSN or TIN from the DHS. They have an automated telephone service which gives you instructions.
