No, my point is that I can’t find anything that indicates that you can look at an SSN to determine if it has been issued to a foreign student or a US citizen. The actual SSN card may indicate that someone is a non-citizen, but the number may not.
What did you make of the info I posted? It looked as if special prefixes were used in the cases iterated, which wd have included an international student from Kenya.
Or am I reading it wrong?
This site lays it out quite clearly, and remarks how some of the supporting artifacts have been scrubbed from the net. Thanks Google!

I was on one or more of the NBC sites, that explained what kind of number a foreign student would use -in lieu of- an SS card bearing an assigned lifetime number.
Either the first three numbers were alphabetical characters like XXX, or it was a longer number (10 numbers or more) with identical characters or numbers like 4444, or a default set of characters or numbers, meaning they were the same for everyone (the first 3 or 4 #’s) like 1000 or 0000.
I can’t remember if there was any tie-in code wise, as to identifying the school where the student attended classes, by way of the first 3 or 4 numbers in the series. I think the school instructed the student on what number to use... there’s been so many good sites doing their own work that it all runs together, and I failed to link to them at the time visited. Doh!
It’s obvious when you see one.
My post’s content is pertaining to a foreign student’s social security number assignment policy- from back in the 70’s
I’m not sure what it is now.
