How Do I Get a Social Security Card Without a Green Card?
Bursting with pride showing this Social Security card. Its owner has been a Blandon Law client for over seven years. Although he hired us for his immigrant visa interview – and still does not have a green card – Mr. C now has a Social Security card and a driver’s license from Tennessee.
Can I Get a Social Security Card with an Immigrant Visa Appointment?
A noncitizen needs an I-765 work permit, Employment Authorization Document, to get a Social Security card. Mr. C could not get a work permit because, although he is married to a US citizen wife and has raised several US citizen children, he entered the country about 30 years ago by crossing the southern border. Noncitizens who enter illegally can’t get green cards or work permits easily.
So, Mrs. C came to Blandon Law to start the immigrant visa process. Sadly — after a terrible construction accident — Mr. C cannot travel on a plane or for long time in a car. He couldn’t go to his immigrant visa interview in Ciudad Juarez.
Blandon Law got him Deferred Action, which like Parole in Place, allows noncitizens to remain legally in the United States. With a work permit, Social Security card, and driver’s license.

Can I Get a Social Security Card with Provisional Waiver Approval?
Even before we get you a work permit or Social Security card, we might be able to get you a driver’s license. For example, approvals for I-601A Provisional Waiver will get you a green card . . . later, not immediately. But (in some states) an I601A approval will get you a driver’s license. A driver’s license is a government-issued photo ID. Use it to identify yourself for taking flights within the United States, register for college, showing your old enough to enter 21+ places, loans, insurance.
