Socia Security Card sent automatically?

[NYN 0]

Hello all,

silly question, and I actually think an earlier post had the answer. Nevertheless I have my doubts and must ask. Is the SSN sent automatically after we are approved? We were approved last week but won´t make our way to the US until early next month. Does this mean hypothetically speaking the SSN would arrive at our stated US address before us? Or does the card get sent after our departure to the US? That is does the gov send the card only if we initiate travel? Thank you all for your help!

The SNN will be sent to your US address 2-3 weeks after you travel, as it is you passing through the POE that triggers it (and assuming you ticked the box on the paperwork asking for an SSN).

The social security card will be sent to your address that you put on your DS 230 form AFTER you arrive here in the United States. It usually takes 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for this answer. Another question though, at the bottom of this application it said for the beneficiary not to sign until he went to the interview. My hubby said he did not sign anything infront of the consular. This is where he swore such and such. I thought he was supposed to sign this application infront of the consular and then the consular would sign his name as well.

Yeah I certainly had to sign in front of the CO at the interview (not sure if the CO signed too, didn't pay attention to that). Maybe your husband signed before by mistake and the CO just didn;t say anything and accepted it? If you got the visa it doesn't really matter anyway, you are approved!
