Is it? When you applied SSN ? I went SSD to apply SSN a day after I came here. But the lady said "I can't apply now. And I want to wait 2 weeks." She didn't accept my application too. Edited by san83

They didn't ask me anything. To sum it up, I gave the officer the envelope and he called another person who asked me to follow him. Then, in that other place, I had to wait a bit, then they called me, I signed a paper and that's it. :)

Some states require Immigrants to apply for SSC manually even if you have selected the option in DS260 , go to your local SSA office with passport and apply. You should receive it within 2 weeks after applied.

Go to your local social security office, show them your visa stamp, they will enter your record and will give you SSN next day and will deliver card within two weeks. That's what I did this week

Thanks dear ny-a&up,

Dear sona,

I applied one week ago and I got it. When you arrived here after 2 weeks you can apply. Go to the SSD office ,Fill the application and bring your passport that's it.
