Hi.
I have some questions here regarding SSN for my child. My child and myself are LPR/GC holder - via Diversity Visa (he is my derivative DV3).
I already have a SSN assigned to me when I was in the USA a long time ago.
Questions:
1. When i filed my tax, for dependents, i am required to write the name and the SSN of my child. Is the section (SSN) mandatory if one were to enter his/her children as dependents?
2. I paid the closest SSA office a visit today (1.5 hours of driving unfortunately), and wanted to apply SSN for my child. I was told by the officer that if my child/or myself is a US Citizen, they will do it, but not for LPRs. Is this correct?
3. The officer also told me that I need to contact IRS to get a tax identification for my child (to put it in my tax return form). Is this correct too?
4. I did ask, what differs between my own status as LPR and my child? She said that i will be working, so i can get SSN issued for me, but my child won't be working - hence SSA wont issue him SSN. Is this correct as well?
Any links to the guidelines of SSA or IRS would be help too. SSN for child (4 years old) of LPR (application issues)
