About Greencard and SSN

[mommymeow 0]

Hello Everyone

I am a little bit concerned about my son's Greencard and SSN. He came to the US with IR2 Visa on June 16, 2010, port of entry : Newark Airport. Since then we never received any welcome letter from USCIS nor the SSN card. Should I start to worry?

When I came here last year with IR1, it only took me within two weeks to get my welcome letter, 3 weeks to get my SSN and a month something to get my greencard.

What is the normal process time to receive SSN and Greencard after you arrive to US? Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Probably what daboyz said. However it would be a good idea to check to make sure your sons name is on or in your mail box & that USPS has his name connected to your address. The documents will be sent in his name & will not be forwarded.

I couldn't guess what the normal process times are - best ask other CR-1 & 2 filers about that,

but if you think it's gone a week or 2 beyond the average time that others got it, an infopass meeting

would be in order. We were going crazy because we didn't have any definite info about my wife's AP

document either online or by telephone (the telephone people are a waste of time as "Gary & Alla"

says - they tell you 6 months & have a nice day).

The IO at the infopass couldn't give her the AP on the spot because he was able to confirm that it

was in the mail - but in fact it had arrived on the very same day we had the infopass.

As for the SS card I wouldn't waste any time in getting to your nearest SSA office to check on the

status - you may have to do an initial application because I kind of doubt that they send social

security cards right out to visa holders, even if the visa comes with an automatic GC entitlement.

Bring your son to the office or they may not believe he exists. They're funny that way.

The SSA screwed up by not sending us a letter why the application was rejected in a timely way.

Her application as rejected because we got married right after her POE so she had to wait

for the GC to be issued. I needed that letter to file 2009 income taxes jointly but I had to go

back there and beat it out of them. My wife was home recovering from a foot operation so

they waived the usual requirement that an applicant be present and talked to her on the

phone.

My wife came (POE in NY) at the end of May 2010. So far we've received a USCIS Welcome Letter. No green card yet.

My wife arrived in the US on May 1st and received 2 welcome letters about a month later and 2 weeks after that received her greencard, we are waiting on the SSN now.
