Same question here my friend.... I'm investigating on the issue so if I get answers I will let you know, but I contacted an immigration lawyer and he told me that in case it is strictly necessary you can get SSN without being a resident or citizen... I'll let you know... and if you know something please do the same for me. Take care and good luck!

Hi guys,
The MBC says SSN is mandatory. I tried getting SSn and SSn office told me that Iam not eligible for one(H4). But one of the analyst asked me to send the application without it and that they ll review my file but PTAL ll not be issued till i get one. If any one has anyothet input please let me know.i have submitted my application but not a response yet. Will keep u posted.
