[Cammy 0]

we applied SSN #, and it's been 11 weeks already and yet we've been calling the SSA office every week and still no answer and every time we call them we got different answer. This morning my husband call the SSA again and they told us that they don't know what happened to our request she said that the Immigration Naturalization Service whatsoever will have to verify our request first. So now does anybody here got the same experience? don't know what to do it's like evreything now is pending I can't get driver's license beacause they need ssn no. I got my green card already last september. pls need input

I would like to share my Story i already post this but wanna share it to you what happen .After I received my EAD card, My husband and I went to our local SSA office on September 8, 2009 to apply for my SSN. After the paper work was done the employee who process my papers said that I will receive my SSC with in 3 weeks. After 3 weeks I didn't receive anything, so I went back to the SSA office to check on the status. I spoke to the same employee at the SSA office and he told me its probably going to be another week. After I waited I still didn't receive my SSC. On October 8, 2009 I went back to the SSA office and the same employee who process my papers told me that my application was forward to Los Angeles and that I should wait. After checking the mail we still didn't receive my SSC. On November 4 , 2009 we went back to the SSA office to check on my status.This time we spoke to a different employee and I told her that I applied for a SSC on September 8, 2009 and still haven't received anything until now. She then check on my status and couldnt find any paper work so she said I need to fill up another form. When she got done with the paper work she said to come in with in 24 hours, I should receive a SSN.

On November 5, 2009 my husband and I went back to SSA office and spoke to the same employee that we spoke yesterday, She said with the smile I finally have a SSN.

So if i were you sis go back to your local SSA office and talk to them hope it helps

We just visited the SSA today, it's been 3 weeks and we have not received my son's SS card yet.

We have our GC as well. The office told us that my name was mispelled, that's why there was a hold on the release of a number for him, even the parents name on his application must be correct because they counter checked it with DHS and they found out the error was on them. If there is even one letter mispelled they will not issue a number. Good thing we went there and showed them my GC and social security card.

SSA does not verify the parent's names with immigration.

RM 00202.140 Form SS-5 Item 8.A - Mother's Maiden Name:

https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0100202140

B. Procedure

Verify that the mother's full first, middle, and maiden names are entered in the appropriate spaces. The information provided by the applicant must not be in conflict with the evidence submitted and/or the Numident (SSN) record.

1. Applications for Original SSNs

"Foreign-born noncitizen applicants may not have documents to substantiate their parents' names. You may accept the allegations of the applicant regarding parent data, absent evidence to the contrary provided the applicant completes either the “self” or the “natural/adoptive parent” block in Item 17. However, when there is a question about the relationship and the person does not have a birth certificate to submit, the SSA employee can assume there is a parent-child relationship if they were issued visas by the Department of State (DOS) at about the same time. The DOS determines that there is a parent-child relationship before issuing a visa. The SSA employee may also assume relationship if the foreign-born noncitizen parent and foreign-born noncitizen child were admitted to the U.S. at the same time and place or they have passports showing the same family name. When accepting an alleged parent name, annotate “alleged” or “no evidence” in the margin by the name."

RM 00202.142 Form SS-5 Item 8.B. - Mother's SSN:

https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0100202142

NOTE: The first and last (or maiden) name listed for each of the parents on the child's SS-5 must exactly match the first and last (or maiden) name shown on that parent's Numident record in either the NAA or NL2 (Name at Birth) fields. If the parent name alleged on the child's SS-5 is correct and does not appear in either of those fields on any iteration of the parent's Numident record, the parent's Numident record must be updated with the correct name before the child's application can be processed.

When the mother's name shown on the SS-5 is different from the name shown on the mother's Numident record, resolve the discrepancy before processing the child's SS-5.

-- If the mother's name is shown incorrectly on the SS-5, but the name is shown correctly on her Numident record and the child's evidence of age, correct the name on the child's SS-5 and annotate it as an “FO write in” if the applicant is not present, otherwise, have the applicant sign the MES generated application showing the correct information.

-- If the mother's maiden name is missing from her Numident, obtain evidence to establish the new data per RM 00203.210 and process an SS-5 for the mother to add this information before inputting the child's application.

-- If the mother's name is shown incorrectly on the child's birth certificate (or other evidence of age), but is shown correctly on her Numident record and on the child's SS-5, do not process the child's SS-5. Advise the parent to obtain a document from the issuing agency with the correct mother's name.

This is based on my experience with my son's application for SS number.
