Social Security card for non resident alien?
I am a U.S. citizen married to a Dutch national for the last 15 years. We would like to get my wife a non-working social security card. She has a Taxpayer ID # as we file joint U.S. tax returns. The rules on the Soc. Sec. site are sufficiently vague as to be not very helpful. Anyone know if it is possible to get a card for her? Secondarily we tried to open an IRA account, but were told she must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien with an SS#; moreover she could not even be a beneficiary. Thanks in advance
