ssn

The next bit is a little twisted. Most people won’t hire you until you have a SSN. So you must get your employer up to terms with the rules and convince him to give a letter in the immigration-approved format. You can collect it from the ISSS. Here’s a sample:

Where to go

Take the bus 'Skip' on 'Broadway' street and get down at Table Mesa stop (fare is $1.10). There ia a shopping complex, as soon as you get down, behind the Indian restaurant Tandoori Grill (Lunch buffet here is the best in Boulder and is about $11 per head including tax and tip). Take the big stairs on the left-hand side of it in the complex and if you keep walking straight you will find Social Security Office the right hand side. Make sure to get your postal address before applying. If you do not have an apartment make sure you take an address where your card will be posted.

Social Security Number is very important and has to be kept confidential and should not be given to any person except certain school officials, bank, and on credit card application etc.
