nice336 asked:
Does a SS card help speed up your residency/citizenship application? An aquaintance of mine in Mexico was sent a social security card when he was 14. I believe it was because his brother deducted him on his US taxes. This acquaintance wants to know if having this SS card helps him fix his immigration papers in any way. His is now 34. Anyone have an idea? Or where I can go to get the information?

No. Social Security and immigration are two totally different programs. There are many non-citizens who for one reason or another acquired a social security number at one time.

First of all,I would make sure it is a legal SS#. Doesn’t make any sense that his brother used him as a deduction on his taxes if he was in another country. Something doesn’t smell right with this one.
But if the number is legit,it wouldn’t help in any way to speed up the application.
