HelP!!! Social Sec Card

[Romeo&Analet 1]

This is my 4th week here in the United States, I have a job opportunity, but no social sec card (eather number) yet!

I have heard that people gets it in two weeks.

When I have called to their offices it seems they are not familiar with the fact that it was requested already in my Visa paperwork (DS-230)

(I already have my green card but it is not enough for working.)

...your comments will be of great help!...THANKS!

Hi there,

The same happened to me when I got here more than 2 months ago. Go to your nearest Social Security office with your green card and passport, and tell them that you haven't received your SSN yet. They would have to process it for you and you'll receive it within 10 business days (if you want to get your number, you can go to the same office 2 days after). If they happen to tell you that they are not able to do it, ask to talk to a supervisor. Even though this is such a common thing, it seems that they have no idea what to do.. I went 3 different times to the office until someone who actually knew their job processed my application. Even in their website says that if you haven't received your social within 21 days to please call them.. When you call them, they have absolutely no idea!! I know it's frustrating, but just go to the office, and if the don't want to do it, talk to a supervisor.. they HAVE TO do it!!

Hope it helps!
