It is because of people obtaining SSN illegaly that America is slowly
becoming like Britain I for one object very strongly to your request
considering I have paid the US government to date over $2000 to get a
visa to live here from England as I am married to an American, I still
do not have a work permit after living here for 3 months and you believe
that you can just enter and illegaly obtain a SSN?
If you wish to live here you should do so using the correct procedures,
If you work with a forged SSN then eventually you will get caought and
you will be deported and banned from entering the USA for I beleive 10
years.
Do things properly!!
