Social Security Card Delay

[velvetboxes 0]

Hey Guys!

Just a quick question to ask. I just got off the phone with social security in regards to my SS card. I applied for it on August 30th, 2011 and still have yet to receive it in the mail. It's September 26th. The woman on the phone mentioned that it hasn't been updated in the system and sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for anything to show up. However, from what she said she saw, there was no movement on it.

I filed for my AOS from a K-1 visa on September 6th and received my NOA on the 9th. I called USCIS and the application for my I-485 and my I-765 is currently under initial review.

Could this possibly where the delay is coming from? When I went to the SS office, the gentleman handling my case mentioned that it could take up to 5 weeks to process because they had to communicate with USCIS and vice versa in regards to my entry into the US. When I went to apply for the card, I had already been in the US for over three weeks and it had yet to show in the system that I had entered at all.

Blah. Any advice? People in the same boat?

When you went to the office and applied for your SSC, did you walk out with a receipt that stated your application was accepted and you had to wait 30 days for the card to arrive? If so, then you have a SSN just no card yet.

Take the receipt you received from the SSA when you applied for your SSC to the nearest office. Show them the receipt and ask them the status of your card. If nothing else you should get a print out of your SSN. We filed for a SSN in early January. No card by the end of January. Went back and asked. Received a printout with SSN on printout. Had them send card to local office because the USPS was not deliverying mail addressed to my wife because we did not inform them that she now lives at this address. This can be a problem if the last name is different because your wife keeps her maiden name like mine did or your or you take your husband's name.

Hope ou get tis straightened out.

I got my SSN before I even filed AOS. It wasn't even mailed or anything when my SSN arrived in the mail box for me.

Thank you, Dave. I will do that.

I did receive a copy of a receipt from the SSA office, so I will bring that back with me. I changed my last name legally when I was there. That shouldn't be a problem. I will take care of all of that this coming week.

I am glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue.

SSA has to wait for a verification from DHS. They say it may take 4-6 weeks but in reality it can take longer. I applied for a SS card end of July and they just informed me today that DHS finally verified my immigration status. As you can see, I waited 2 months.

Sent out the email. Thank you, I Quit. Hopefully I will get a reply back shortly. This is all very discouraging.
