Hello! I’m honestly not sure if someone can help me or
not.
My fiancé is from England and is here on a K1 visa. We went and applied for him to get a SSN on May 17. They have to verify his documents with DHS before issuing a number.
Everything I’ve read states that foreign fiancés on visas do not need to have a social security number to get the marriage license, they just need to show proof of being here legally (I94, K1 Visa, Passport). However, my local town office (Winterport) is refusing to give us a marriage license without his SSN. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to get an SSN (from what I’ve seen) and we want to get legally married June 26.
Is my town office correct in refusing to give us a marriage license? I’m stressing out because the wedding is in 4 weeks and 2 days and I don’t know if he’s even going to have his SSN by then. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you in advance!
