About how long does one wait to receive SSN after POE? My husband came on a CR-1 visa on May 15th. At the airport they told us there was no need to go to the SSA office to apply for the SSN, but two weeks later we went and applied anyway on May 29th since we still had not received anything.

We have yet to receive anything in the mail. :(

I called the local office today and the operator told me the application has not even cleared yet so a number has not even been generated. Then I called the national number and the operator told me they cannot send him a SSN till the Dept of Homeland Security authorizes them to do so. But he already received his green card, so doesn't that mean the Dept of Homeland Security already reviewed his file. :huh:

I was told we should wait till the 29th of this month to return to the SSA office and reapply. I am thinking of just returning tomorrow with his green card to reapply. :unsure:

This bit of advice may be to late for you but I mention it for others benefit.

It is better to wait at least 2 weeks maybe even 3 weeks to apply for the SSN. If you apply to early then instead of it being resolved while you are in their office. Your application ends up on a slightly different path waiting for you to show up on the computer list. I have head of it taking 1 to 2 months extra time.

If you do go early and they can't find you on the list don't submit the request for SSN. Better to keep every thing and come back a week later and try again.

You won't be able to just reapply. If they have initiated an application, then it has to run its course. The same issues will come up in a second one, so they will see he has already applied and tell you to wait.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package

I have a friend that went back two weeks after applying without any issues. This is why I am thinking I should go back with the green card.

i took the Green Card to the local office last friday and we got the SSN today..what the agent explained to me was that since we applied too early Homeland Security did not have process his files..then agter two weeks since Homeland Security processed his file the SS office does not create a number right away because the application needs to be reactivated in the system so the number can be created...so when i went last friday the agent took his green card and reactivated the application now with the passport and green card..hesaid it would take a week and we got it today like i said Steph you should go with him tomorrow to your local office and show them that you recieved the GC :)
