Is it an offence to go to another SS office after getting a Reference Number from one office.

I've been to the social security office 3ce now and still i cant get a card. i went when i just came in before my I94 expired, it was not approved. The officer said she could not find my info with USCIS. I went after my I94 expired but EAD approved the officer asked me to come back when i receive EAD or GC. I was there again on Monday (2nd August) with my EAD he said he couldnt locate my info with USCIS that my I94 has expired. He however said i should give him till Friday that he would sort it out. He gave me his number to call him. I called today and after 35mins of waiting on the phone he said i'll have to wait for about 3 weeks when he would have been able to confirm from USCIS or i wait till i receive GC. My GC has not even been approved and nobody knows when it 'll be approved. I feel so terrible. It means the EAD is not useful then. Its been a sad day for me. I thot the EAD 'll make life easier.

I am sorry you have been having a hard time, but the first two times were wasted trips because you were not eligible yet for a SSN. Now that you have proof of authorization to work (your EAD) you ARE eligible. The man told you that he would sort it out for you. They have to verify your identity/papers with USCIS and it can take UP TO 3 weeks (but I really guess that it's not going to take that long). You need to be patient. I bet in 2 weeks the SSN will come in the mail. The US gov ALWAYS estimates longer than it actually takes. Patience... that guy is working on it. You can't go to another office because a number is already being generated for you and you GET ONLY ONE FOR LIFE. You'll get it soon.

Thanks for the info.

I've seen a lot of people on VJ go to the SSA few weeks after they arrive and they get a SS Card that does not allow them to work and when they receive their EAD or GC they go and get a replacement. that was my reason of going there twice. I'll have to wait then. It's been boring sitting at home so i thot the receipt of the EAD would put an end to the waiting game. Anyways, i appreciate your response.

Congrats to all the people that have received their EAD,AP and GC.
