hey guys just need an information. things keep changing and i dont know how it goes right now. I was trying to know, if one can get ssn easily after you come here in F1 visa. thank you, and let me know if there is any required process to get one.

one option is get ssn is via working in school during your F1 status. I got mine working in school's dining. But i'm not saying you should work in dining . Heard about other options but am not sure.

to get an SS, u need be able to pay tax. to pay tax u gotta earn. to earn u gotta work
the only place u are eligible to work with F1 is in ur school.
so theses are the reasons and this is what u shud do
work on-campus

so can you apply for ssn  in the first semester.

Yes you can apply for the ssn in first semester provided you have an oncampus job.

You can get SSN once you get on-campus job, it doesnot matter on which semester you are, sometimes the SSN process might also depends on which college you are applying for. If you dont get a on-campus, as a law a student can start working after 9 mths of continue studies excluding Summer break, if you take class in summer you are eligible after 9 mths. To get SSN after 9 mths, you need to get a job offer that compiles your course of studies.

To sum up , Yes you can get a SS card while in F1. You need to apply for SS card along with a job offer, since you are in F1 , a on campus job , at least for now. Best of luck.

thanks to you all guys for the information.

If you already got H1, there should some ways to get SSN, I guess. And, if you got to take class just for SSN, first find the college where you won't have problem getting letter from college for SSN, in case you did not get the job.
