After arrival in US, how long for green card and SSN to arrive?

Hi guys,

Just curious about roughly how long it takes for the green card and social security card (if you indicated on the DS-260 that you need one) to arrive in the mail?

Thanks a lot!

The SSN should take 2-3 weeks. Sometimes it doesn't arrive on it's own and you have to go get one from the SSA office.

Have you paid the immigrant fee?

The green card normally takes 1-3 months from POE or payment whichever is later.

Thank you! If I do have to go to the SSA office, what do I need to bring with me to get his SSN?

Yes, I've just paid the immigrant fee today. So, I should expect the physical green card in 1-3 months?
