It's been close to 3 weeks we applied for my wife's social security card and it still hasn't come in mail yet. Is anyone else in the same situation? My wife has CR1 visa. I called today SS office and they told me to wait 6 weeks, and if we don't get it then call DHS. Does it really take them this long to get DHS verification? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey kind of a similar situation here.

So I got my EAD card on may 22 and it was issued on may 16. The first thing I did was to apply for my SSN the very next day. When they received my application, they gave me a letter saying that they were going to have to verify my documents so they could assign a SSN for me because my status was not updated by the DHS. it also said that such verification could take around 4 WEEKS!

I went to the SSA office agan today, and the same guy who processed my application said that my application was still pending and not verified and that I should have waited two weeks after I got my EAD to apply for my SSN and I could have had my number right away (He didnt tell me that when I first brought my application - I felt like yelling at him). After that, of course he said that theres nothing I could do but to wait for the verification process to end and then to wait for my card.

My questions are:

Is there anything I can do to try to get my number faster that those ridiculous 4 weeks?

Should I contact the USCIS since that guy said that my status hasnt been updated after I got my EAD?

The company who gave me this job offer over a month ago needs my SSN to process my background check. I was never aware that this delay could happen as many of the people here get their numbers right away. I am so desperate now...

Thank you.

I was stuck up in the same situation.I arrived on K1 visa and I applied for SSN 4 weeks after arrival.I didn't received my SSN till 8 weeks and my I-94 expired.I had no option but to wait for my status change and then apply for SSN again.But yes we did contacted local congressmen to find out what caused the delay.In our case the guys at the office were not aware that SSN could be issued on K1 visa.They issued a denial letter mentioning that the SSN can't be issued at this time till the status change.

Well that's the problem, my wife has CR1 visa, I don't know what's the hold up. I went to SSA office again and lady said she forwarded my case to her manager and I should receive it within 2 weeks :unsure:

ya, during the day of application, the clerk would have mentioned (or not) that the application has to be verified for status, via the SAVE database.  

 

You could have gone back the next day after applying, gotten the NUMBER or learned of new problems (with a supervisor) . 

 

 

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
