The Netherlands is one of the most preferred countries for immigrants to the United States. Many immigrants from the Netherlands prefer to remain in the Netherlands, rather than move to the USA. But still, there are many immigrants from other European countries that would like to live in the USA and many of them need an American social security number to gain entry. This type of ID card is required by immigrant for many reasons. One reason would be to prove that the person is an alien, immigrant or other legal status that prohibits them from staying in the country without an ID card issued by the government.
However, many immigrants from the Netherlands don't want to go through all the hassle just to gain entry in the USA. Some of them have family in the United States already, and they do not want to risk their chance of losing them just to cross the sea to America. Also, many immigrants from the Netherlands don't want to have to wait in line to see their relatives when they visit the USA. To avoid all those hassles, the immigrants choose to apply for an immigrant visa or stay legally in the USA or get a social security number that can be used in Mexico, Canada or other countries. This way, they don't have to go through all the hassles of applying for an immigrant visa or social security numbers in order to gain entry in the USA.
When an immigrant from the Netherlands applies for an immigrant visa or a social security number, there are many agencies and officers who will check if they are eligible to enter the USA. These agencies and officers are known as ports of entry, and they are responsible for determining whether an immigrant is eligible for entry or not. Each port of entry has its own criteria. The immigrant must first apply to the US immigration authorities before the application can be processed.
After the application has been submitted to the US immigration authorities for consideration, it will be read and then another set of standards will be applied for the applicant. The social security number will be checked for authenticity and then the visa will be stamped on the applicant's documents after the visa card has been processed. If all requirements are met, an immigrant can be issued a visa which will allow him/her to live permanently in the USA. But, before this visa can be issued, it is important that an immigrant must have obtained the necessary visa requirements in the country that he/she is traveling to.
