    SNN for Child on L2 Visa
    Hi

    I am on an L-1 visa in USA for the last 1.5 years.
    My son is 9 year old and he is on L2.
    Is he eligible to get an SSN?

    Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Suren S

    Generally speaking, he does not qualify nor does he need an SSN. If you are filing taxes and need the number to claim him as a dependent, file for a individual taxpayer identification number (TIN) from the IRS on form W-7. Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN)

    I hope this is responsive to your inquiry. Good luck.
