Getting a SSN in CA?
 
Hi, I'm 17 years old and I have been approved for DACA for a while, but now will get a SSN.

So I just went on the social security website and used their SS office locator and found one around the area. Can anyone with experience tell me exactly what I need to bring?

I will bring the EAD card, passport, and some of the letters from USCIS, along with the completed form; is this the correct one?

Here there are some requirements I'm not sure about:

immigration status--I was entrance without inspection so how do show that? And what is the "interview" they are talking about?

Thank you. I am just a bit nervous as I was when I went for the biometrics.

Also, do I need to make an appointment or can I just walk in?

And do I just tell them I am undocumented but DACA approved?

You only need ead card and passport and maybe your birth certificate ..there is no interview maybe some questions like how long you been in the us ?

I might as well just leave it blank and ask tomorrow at the office, but what would I put for "CITIZENSHIP"? Not a "Legal Alien Allowed to Work" so would I put "Other"?
