Once you get your work permit through H4 EAD, you must apply for Social Security Number and driving licence. These are some of the documents required to get you an identity and a job in the USA.<\/p>\n

Applying for SSN <\/strong><\/p>\n

Social Security Number is acquired for US citizens at birth. For all other immigrants and non immigrants, SSN can be acquired at the local social security office. There are some special cases where you can get a SSN even though you do not have a work permit or work visa. Here are the documents needed for applying SSN once you get your H4 EAD:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. EAD card<\/li>\n
  2. Passport<\/li>\n
  3. Valid I94 either in passport or extended version<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Check the work hours of your local SSN office. You are required to take a token at the entrance. At the window, the officer will verify your documents. They will take a copy of your documents and issue an acknowledgement which shows your address, name, date of birth, and so on. The SSN card will be mailed to your address within two weeks.<\/p>\n

    Applying for Driving License<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you do not have a TVDL<\/a>, you have to apply for fresh driving license<\/a> after you get your EAD and SSN. If you already have a TVDL, you can get your driving license without a computer test and road test. The documents required at the DMV include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. TVDL<\/li>\n
    2. EAD card<\/li>\n
    3. SSN Card<\/li>\n
    4. SSN Acknowledgement Letter<\/li>\n
    5. \u00a0Spouse’s Driving License and Spouse signature (Spouse is required to present at the DMV)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You have to take a token at the DMV. They will verify your documents and issue a token. Once your number is called, the officer will verify your documents. You will be required to take only vision test. Your driving license will be issued for five years from the current date. This is regardless of your date of validity of the H4 EAD<\/a> card or I94. Again, check the timings and take all the originals. The fee is $30 plus one dollar for service fee if you pay through credit card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
