How can I enroll my fiancee into DEERS program without SSN?
My fiancee and I are getting married this December and the thing is she is on tourist visa from other country. we have been known each other for a year and a half and she is visiting me and I missed her so much I proposed to her. I am currently Active Duty in the Army and after we get married I want to enroll her in DEERS. my question is can I enroll my fiancee into DEERS without her social security number? or is there any waiver for it? please help, if anybody had experience on this.

Contrary to what Ibu Guru stated, there's NOTHING illegal about getting married while on vacation. Tens of thousands of tourists do this every year and have a jolly vacation afterward. What's illegal is to enter the United States with a non-immigrant visa and the INTENT to stay on that very trip, to "immigrate." So you can only pull this off if you guys did not intent for her to come to the U.S., to get married, and then to stay. If this was the plan from the get-go, you better have your (then) wife return to her country of residence and file an I-130 for her. About 8 months later she would get her CR-1 immigrant visa.
Now, you cannot enroll a tourist into DEER, simply because your fiance is not even a family member of yours and as such she is not eligible for military benefits of any kind.
at the beginning you may't get a dependant I D card without your hubby (your Sponcor) until you have a POA! without this you're SOL. i'm particular the officer thought you have been an unlawful alien. you may continually call the "I D Carf Facility for archives on the thank you to get a I D card and not making use of a SSN. Your hubby could additionally get you a POA (skill of criminal expert) and a DD1172 signed by way of his Comannder to be certain if which will help join you in DEERS. If nothign works than you will might desire to be certain approximately Medicade on welfare to pay for scientific fees.
Marriage while on a tourist visa is actually visa fraud. You needed to obtain a fiance visa for her prior to her entry to US if you want to get married. She has to return to her country of citizenship before her tourist visa expires. If you have married, you will apply for spousal visa, or if not married but engaged to marry, then get a fiance visa. It would be most unwise to marry her while she's on a tourist visa. That is not the purpose of tourist visas.
