It is a number issued by the social security administration to US citizens. Foreign nationals have a similar number used for taxes etc. You will need one before you can get a job. You also need one for your parents to claim you as an exemption on their taxes. You use this number when you file your taxes, when you get a job, when you apply for credit, when you apply for many government benefits and to draw your social security retirement when you retire. You can get more information here: http://www.ssa.gov/

You will be unable to get a telephone number or street address associated with a social security number. You'll have to return it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services located at www.uscis.gov.

First they need to apply for a green card, which is basically permanent residency. Then you should be able to get a SSN.  But that doesn't mean you're a citizen...yet...i don't think.\n\nxo

You need to contact your local consulate regarding specific requirements.  Some countries require that you provide them with some sort of proof that you are coming back after you finish school, etc.\nMake sure that you bring exactly what they are asking from you.  You will definitely need bank statements, ties to your country, like property, etc. If you are young and are the only one studying abroad, that is good.  If you already have family studying in the US, or if you have brothers and sisters living in the US, that is not so good.  Don't report relatives living in the US unless you have a weird last name, it is none of their business and they have no way of cheching that out.  Good luck!

You asked this question at the right time. I had to do this a week ago. Get information to Washington, D.C. and get the # for Homeland Security. Call them and ask for the Immigration dept. They'll connect you and then you take care of business. Good luck!!

yeah, in witness protection program. otherwise you have to die and be ressurected in america\n\nyou can start over any time though, its a tough process but at the end you would be the person you would want yourself to be with a new social security number. I hear the credit report and the history only goes up to 7 years on file since the date of repayment.

You could commit a crime in another country and then serve time as a "guest" of that country.\nBut seriously, many countries give away citizenship in much the same way we do in America. Typically those seeking citizenship come from economically depressed, or politically unstable "3rd world" countries. Americans can travel freely throughout most of the world because there is little concern that we will remain as a burden upon their social system.  There are plenty of job opportunities in other countries that are open to Americans. Once there, you can apply for citizenship. Of course you can apply at any foreign Embassy or Consulate here in the USA... but without "loads of cash" it would be more honorable of you to have gainful employment in that country first. Do an Internet search for jobs abroad.

Good answer, Asia!  The best bet is always to go to the official websites, NOT the "we'll help you get her over here" companies.  Check back on the uscis site periodically, since laws/rules change periodically.  You'll want to make sure you have the most current information available.\n\nGood luck!

You worked a long time and paid a lot of money into your Social Security account.  You can get the checks sent to you wherever you decide to live.  Before you relocate in another country, please check out the other country very well!

Coming to the US;  Very strict INS questioning, references needed, they call your references, family, friends, eveyrthing you say has to match with what they find or you get denied.  You may even have all that but if they feel you are being untruthful or suspicious in any way, or even have a connection with someone who is dealing in illegal activies, not only do you not get citizenship, you also get investigated yourself before you leave....if they let you leave.  Especially now with terrorism.  We have to be more than careful.
