SS#/waiting on confirmation

[sheenaspapi 18]

We received my wifes work authorization earlier this month and applied for her SS# on June 7th or 8th without issue. We were told that they were unable to verify my wifes information with USCIS via the computer and an email was sent to them. We wait until this info is confirmed which could be up to 20 days.

Every few days or so we call back but there hasn't been any reply from USCIS yet. Today same status and another email was sent to USCIS again.

1. What info are they needing to confirm and from who? I ask cause the I-485 was transferred from Chicago Lockbox to California for processing. Does this affect the confirmation?

I am waiting to file our 2011 taxes to pay for a move to Sc. I need the SS# to file.

I got the same problem when I went to apply for a SS number (before I got married, so before I applied for AOS/EAD/AP). The employee told me the same thing, photocopied my visa and I-94 and said she was going to request to the DHS to verify my informations. She said it's a normal process, it happens quite often. After 2 weeks, I got a letter from the SSA saying I will receive my card in 2 weeks, but I received it only 3 days after this letter.

You said you applied on June 7th or 8th, and that it could take up to 20 days. No need to call before, unless you want to be disappointed. Wait for those 20 days first. It's the administration, they are busy/take their time, and they won't rush more if you call every few days.

According to the SS, the holdup isn't on thier end but with USCIS. I have only checked to see where we were at because there were other posts here that said to call after a few days because we could pick up the letter at the office if in and save a few days. Sounds like we will be waiting. Tx.

Did you recieve your SS card yet? We applied for the SSN on the same day as you did with the EAD. Have not heard anything back so far and it has been 3 weeks...

Some people said the SS office will get the verification when you are able to do the Self Check on USCIS website ( http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=2ec07cd67450d210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=2ec07cd67450d210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD). Anyone tried that? We did and it says 'Unable to Proceed"....
