Thanks to neerman and wichitastate!

wichitastate,

nursing licensing board is asking for SSN because she's physically present in the US. if she was physically outside the US, then she could use SSN Affidavit form as it's obvious that she won't have SSN anyways. i guess they don't have the provision for those who don't have SSN and have come to US as dependent. i talked to them and said we could apply but they won't give the license until my wife has SSN. were you in the same situation? can she take NCLEX examination for now? and where do you see all the news update for nurses' visas? are you waiting too for the visa?

neerman,

they said we need to have SSN, and there's no exception for that. do you know if she can change her status to F1 and get SSN? how hard'd that be? anyone?

thanks,

delicate
