USCIS Changes on Social Security Card Applications

Written By Robin Catmur-Smith

March, 2025

  • Application for a new social security card is no longer linked within the I-765 application for a temporary work card.  If you are applying for OPT and have not yet applied for or received a U.S. Social Security Number, you will need to process the SSN application separately from the OPT application.  Information on applying for a social security number can be found on the Social Security Administration website.
