Hey all,

I entered the US in October and applied for my SSN on 10/20/2014 (almost 8 weeks ago). Every time I call they tell me that it is still with homeland security for verification of my documents.

My question is, is it normal to take this long? should I be worried?

Kind regards,

Adam

yes, is cause for concern.

assumption: you apply in married name, not visa name?

you could go back, if within 76 days of POE date, apply in VISA Name, go back next day and get the SSN (not the card). Ask for lookup in SAVE database system by A# and VISA NAME, as well.

If 76 days past the POE date, SSN clerks don't want to mess with you.

As to 'normal' for DHS Verification, yes, it is. Unfortunately, they cannot verify a new married name, is no federal id issued on you, yet, showing a new married name.

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.
