Remember, you don’t need a
social security letter to BEGIN working on campus at Georgia Tech! The
OIE must notify the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), F-1 students, or the
Department of State, J-1 students and scholars, of your arrival to the U.S.,
check-in and registration in courses (for students) in order to the SSA to
verify your eligibility for the SSN.
F-1 Students: The Social Security Administration requires F-1 students have a
letter support from OIE before applying for a social security number. There is
now an e-form in iStart entitled ‘SSN Letter Request’ to ensure students can
request a social security letter and minimize waiting time to see an advisor
during walk-in hours. Please use this e-form to request a support letter from
OIE and be prepared to upload the letter from your on-campus employer in the
e-form.
