Hello sajha friends happy new year to you firstly. Hope everyone will have a great 2009.

Anyway i be soon filing for my OPT but on the application form at line 9, it is stated that i have to declare my

SSN. The problem is that i have used my SSN to work off-campus and without getting authoization.

Therefore would this have any consequences regarding getting my Employment Authorization Document(EAD) for my OPT.

Please let me know what i should do.

Is it better to leave the line 9 BLANK or declare my SSN anyway.

I assume some of you have encountered this problem. Please let me know.

Thank you,

S.K.H
