Earlier, the applicants had to apply for a Social Security number at a Social Security office.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">USCIS is revising Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, to include the additional questions needed to apply for an SSN or a replacement card. After approving Form I-485, in most cases USCIS will electronically transmit the data to the Social Security Administration. Upon receiving the data, the Social Security Administration will automatically assign an original SSN or issue a replacement card, as appropriate. This partnership with the Social Security Administration will not increase the filing fee for Form I-485.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This change to Form I-485 is effective
