I have some bitter sweet news. I applied for my SSN last week Thursday (Aug 13). The job offer I have, has been more than patient with me. I gave them the EAD but they need the SSN. After reading several forums I saw people stating you could go to the SSN office you applied and get the number while you wait for the card to show up in the mail. I decided to give it a shot today, and I must say thank GOD I did! I told them I have a job offer and the employer needs the SSN to do background check etc. The agent was more than willing to assist me, and then we found out NO APPLICATION was submitted for me!!!! He asked me for a receipt and I told him the previous agent told me I did not need one and that my card will arrive 3-4weeks. He asked me what was the agent name and good thing was he was at work TODAY so I saw his lazy a$$ and pointed him out. The agent went over to have a word with him (I have no clue what they talked about, but I assume he asked him "did you submit this application" and he's like "no but tell her something was wrong with DHS" . Anyways, the agent came back and put my information into the system and he verified me instantly with DHS and told me to come tomorrow because it takes 24 hours for the SSN to be generated in the system and 7-10 days for it to be mailed out once verified. He said he will give me the number tomorrow so I will keep you guys updated. He did advised in future to always ask for a receipt because what happens is, when you get a receipt it means the agent DID submit the application while you were there. When you don't it's like some of the agents just take the information and put it aside to get back to it and not remember to submit it....He also gave me a receipt showing that I applied TODAY , but at least he told me come tomorrow to assist with the number.

Wow that's crazy, hope you will get tomorrow. Thanks for sharing, will keep in mind to get the receipt when I go there hopefully tomorrow!

Good luck Avania:)

I get my SSN right way when I apply, just bring them to your employer, the card comes later around 10 days. I hate agent or lawyer to present for me. As my case, she doesn't want to listen to me and do whatever she likes. I told her to fill out I-131 AP for me but she forgot to do it. And I told her my application needs to send that day but again she forgot too. Please pay very close attention when you choose your agent or lawyer that will present for you

I never used a lawyer for my AOS and I don't think you need one to apply for SSN. I did go to a lawyer to get a consultation before submitting my AOS and she told me $5000, I laughed and see myself out her door. My spouse and I were our own lawyers and it was free lol

[codycody 31]

I have to pay them $2,000 and what I got is they mess up and delay my application. I wish I know VisaJournal sooner I know lawyer, here is teach me everything! Better than lawyer but all is free.

Thanks for this - so good to know. We got the NOA 2 yesterday and card should arrive today so SSN is next for us.

As frustrating as it is for us I feel for some of those May filers who are still hanging out there without even any sign of EAD on the way!

[Inna&Chris 94]

We never used a lawyer either, prepared all by ourselves. As far as I know them usually cause problems and mess.

[Inna&Chris 94]

Guys, received our EAD cards with my son, went to the SSA applied for our ssn cards, took the receipt numbers, they said to wait up to 4 weeks untill they varify us in the system, hopefully will be quicker than that....
