A: There are many questions here, the most obvious is how do you have a SS# if you are undocumented? You need to sort this out before someone gets you into trouble without your knowledge. Please consult an attorney urgently. You can find one on the Justia Directory or on thevAmerican Immigration Lawyers Association website. Alternatively many community organizations offer help for these cases.
