hi guys and girls all through our visa process it was said by the embassy website,the documents from them and funnily enough the ssa website themselves.if you come in on a cr1 it is supposed to be issued as part of this process as long as you check the box,

so we call ssa to check we are in the system and they ask if we have applied,so we say yes as part of the visa process,his reply"who told you that"

so when we told the erm the us embassy in uk, erm the visa documents, and erm your website you get a pause then"well they are all wrong you have to come down to ssa and apply"

so if you are all expecting a ss card throught the post along with your green cards you may have to go the your local social security office and apply for one

we went we were there for about 3 hours most of which was waiting in line ,it took the woman 25 mins to do both mine and juniors we will get them within 2 weeks,they did say however they cant process 2 numbers at the same time for same family members and had to post jnrs reciept letter

As far as I can tell, this is a hit or miss program. I was assured when we were going through the process by several people that they had gotten their SS card as expected, about the same time they got their green card. My wife's green card came about 3 weeks after she got here, no SSN. Took us several months of arguing with the SSA, had to keep going back, because the guy at the CIS hadn't entered her into the SAVE database, which is the immigration db that SSA checks. Ended up getting my Senator's staff involved. Finally got her card in February, after getting here the previous October.
