I posted this in another discussion forum but wanted to get a broader audience here....

Hi, we tried to apply for a SSN back in Jan. (from a K1) and haven't heard from them yet. We've already asked that 3 requests be sent to DHS for verification but they said that DHS has not responded yet. It's already been 2 months.

Is there anyone we can call or talk to to expedite this? I saw previous posts from mdyoung but the links don't work and there aren't any phone numbers.

Anyone experienced this and/or how to resolve?

Thanks!

My wife, also K1, got her SSN about a week after applying but my stepson's story sounds like yours. When we went to the SSA office they couldn't find him in the database so they had to send away to DHS for confirmation. They said it usually took 60 days but it took 5 months. Unfortunately, there was nothing we could do but wait. It was very frustrating because he wanted to go to work in January when he arrived but had to wait until August, first to get his EAD which was required for SSN and then for the SSN. He couldn't go to school either so he just spent the first 8 months of his new life in America sleeping and playing video games.
