Continuing SSN problems

[ryna 132]

Ok....

Tomorrow makes 5 weeks since my then-fiancee, now-wife's SSN application and nothing seems to be happening. After the first three weeks, we followed-up and they said she wasn't in the system as listed on her I-94. We also found out that they were on something called "3rd level verification" of a G-845 or something like that and DHS hadn't given them authorization to issue a card yet. We knew that her the name on her I-94 was shortened by the CBP agent at entry, so we went back to the CBP deferred inspection site, corrected her I-94 (which now should have matched what was in the SAVE database) and returned to SSA. They tried to put it through but there was now a typo in her name and, again, it wouldn't go through. She was told to wait two more weeks and check back.

She just got off the phone with them and as of today, still nothing! They told her she needs to continue waiting until 4 weeks have passed (since the correction)....

The problem is, after these 5 weeks, if we wait the whole 4 weeks they want, she will be very close to the cutoff date (due to I-94 expiration) where they can't issue her a SSN even with DHS approval..

Is this something that can be fixed with an InfoPass appointment? We've fixed the only error that was visible to us (her I-94), so all of the physical documents we have and the SS-5 are correct and are in agreement with each other. The only issue seems to be in their computers for some reason.

Again, is this something that InfoPass can fix or is that strictly for USCIS related matters (not SSA)?

Sorry if that was confusing... We don't know what to do next...

Maybe now you will do what I told you to do when all this started.

Which was exactly?

Because we have been there three times and have done what you had suggested as far as I know.. Maybe it's because something is getting lost in the translation when I explained what to do to my wife in Spanish, maybe it's because I'm no SSA expert and misunderstood you in the first place, maybe it's because on some occasions the guards at the SS office wouldn't let me accompany her to the window to ask these things for myself, maybe it's because she misunderstood me and didn't ask them the right things, but the bottom line is they keep telling her they are still waiting on the level 3 verification and to check back in two more weeks until we run out of time.

I can't believe you are not allowed to go to the window with her, that's absurd. My hubbie was able to with me and was never an issue. This sounds crazy to me and as it is already in the works you can't now go to another SSN office and apply. I would try and make an info pass as if it's her name spelling or whatever surely it can be solved quickly. I have to say though I too am level 3 at the DDS as I can't get my drivers license even though I have EAD card and all and SSN and all the ID they could want.

I am going through AOS at the moment and I think that is why as we were RFE'd for the 2nd time they lost my medical. ggrrr Keep pursuing this as otherwise she will have to wait for GC and that's madness.

I like that! I'm pretty close to doing so with or without that form.

It took 6 weeks, but finally the SSA said the card has been issued. The check is in the mail, as they say. I'll take them at their word and hopefully it'll be here soon.

I Quit, Thanks for your help!
