Hi -

While I was in the USA in 2002 on an H1B visa, I applied for and received a Social Security number. I stayed in the US for 4 months and moved on to India. Is the SSN still valid and can I use it for any specific requirement in the United States?
Thanks in advance.

I think that SSN's are valid for life. But you might want to check up with that...

I'm international student too. As far as I know there is no 'expiration ' thing per SSN. You can use it for you whole life.
