MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE US SINCE HE WAS SIX. WE GOT MARRIED 8YRS
AGO. HE IS NOW 43 YEARS OLD. HE HAS HIS PASS PORT FROM WHEN HE ARRIVED IN THE US. HE WAS GIVEN A SS# THAT HE HAS USED TO WORK. AT THIS TIME I'M UNSURE IF HE WAS EVER GIVEN THE ACTUAL CARD. HOWEVER WE WENT TO APPLY FOR ONE AND WAS DENIED .HE HAS IN HIS POSSESSION HIS ORIG. BIRTH CERTIFICATE,OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE, BILLS IN HIS NAME AND A OLD ID FROM 20YRS AGO PLUS HIS PASS PORT.

QUESTION IS MY HUSBAND LIVING IN THE US ILLEGALLY?

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS WHAT VISA DID YOUR HUSBAND ARRIVE ON WHEN HE WAS 6. OBVIOUSLY HE WAS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT HIMSELF AT THAT AGE, BUT WHAT WAS THE DEAL? DID HE GO WITH HIS PARENTS AND THEY MADE HIM STAY LONGER THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO?

THE ISSUE WITH THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER COULD BE THAT HE NEEDS TO APPLY TO BE RE-ISSUED ONE WITH THE SAME NUMBER AS THE ONE HE HAD, IF WE ASSUME THAT IS THE TRUE AND ORIGINAL NUMBER. HE CANNOT HAVE TWO SS NUMBERS. SO APPLYING FOR A NEW NUMBER IS WRONG.

I WOULD HAVE SEND THE SS ADMINISTRATION A LETTER, INCLUDE SOME PAY SLIPS, ETC ETC. TO PROVE THE NUMBER, EXPLAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY - OR TALK AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER AND HAVE HE/SHE FIGURE OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED!
