well it was my gps in the mail... got a letter stating that my perm status has been approved and ill get my green card within 3 weeks.. i tried getting my social security number today but they said i wasnt coming up on their file and it all had to be verified if i was using my employment card and can take 4-6 weeks to get approved that way or wait for my green card and it can take 2 weeks.. which sucks cos i thought it would of been easy to get a number like it is in Australia.. so no work for me for a little while to come now!

I had an issue as well and it took longer than it was supposed to.. Won't take as long as you think. I'd just apply and let them process it. That way you don't have to think about it. Or you can wait for the GC... totally up to you

Why is SS giving u such a hard time? I went in with my I94 two weeks Monday after arriving here and got a SS number the same day, wich I had to have here in Ohio to get a marriage licence. But SS is a federal department so their rules shouldn't vary state to state???

i will vanessa... SS said because i wasnt coming up on their systems yet it could take 4-6 weeks with my EAD card... they told me to come back in with my green card (i told them it was approved) and it should take up to 2 weeks.. they said it wasnt coming up on their systems because it takes about a week or so to show after being approved so i should have a number in a week... print me a number so i can go get my license and a job while i wait for the card... you wouldnt think it would be different from state to state... maybe mine just dont know how to do their job? not sure... i didnt need a ss for my marriage license so i was sweet there... yeh fosters isnt that great but it will do the job.. i dont like bud lite, cant stand it... ice house is my choice here... though i dont drink all that much so im all good...

Mmm yeah I think they don't know what they were doing either... One of the guides here on vj says to wait 2 weeks then go in to get your SS number, so I arrived on June 7 and went and got the number on June 27

Nah I don't drink too much either, but after tasting Budweiser I just had to find something better for the odd occasion

Went to the SS office in Phoenix today. I was expecting to have so much trouble get my social security card after everything i've heard (especially because i want it in my married name also). Was very pleasantly surprised though, the lady did it with no problem, even putting it in my married name i'm assuming she's actually done it before, lol, i got lucky i guess

I think it's definitely that they don't know how to do their job. you always here so many people get told so many different stories from so many different offices :/

yeh.. but they said its a common thing.. maybe its different because i didnt get a ss number before i got my green card approved like you guys did... it might be different once you have to go back in to change your status.. i dunno! why me!!!

[Travis and Meghan 24]

ohhhh, okay. yeah, i heard that if you want to get it before your green card you need to go in there more than two weeks before your I-94 expires
