Green card and SSN delivery

[neocarbunkle 2]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

My wife did her POE almost 4 weeks ago and we haven't seen anything come in the mail yet.
I paid my fees after her interview, and I am pretty sure I applied for her SSN when I did the application.

Although I did my I-130 like 2 years ago so it is really hard to remember.

Is there a way to check on the status of these two things?

Call USCIS and find out

my friends took 2 months to get GC and SS

Hi,

I had my interview last wednesday, my visa shows as issued on the CEAC website.

I want to pay the fee but I don't have my A-number ? (which is the alien number if i'm right)

Should i wait for my passport back and get it from there ?

Regards.

Yes. A# is on the visa.

Im trying to planne ahead for my wife to get her social security number when she gets here. Does she applies for the SSN before the visa is issued or after the green card is issued. Our case is at nvc now. And I paid the AOS and IV fee. I'm waitind for the fee to say "paid" so i can fillout rhe DS260.

And can I send the AOS and IV before i fill out the D260 or I have to include the confirmTion page of the DS260 in the package?

DS260 has option to apply for SOcial. So as soon as she enters in to US at POE her green card and social security number process will began. But do make sure to take her to social security office just to make sure she is in system.

You can send documents with welcome letter document check list. But it's better to wait for Fees to say paid usually it takes them 2 business days if it's direct through bank.

Thanks for the answer

So you can request an SSN with the DS-260 however, if it doesn't arrive within 2-3 weeks after your wife arrives in the USA, you can go to an SSA office and request a SSN manually. Check out the SSA website for the form download.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm going to try and get connected with the SSA phone line tomorrow. But if I have to go to the office, can I just bring her passport? The passport shows where she is born and her authorization to work.

I found these instructions, but they don't seem clear.

A Social Security representative will help you apply for a Social Security number. Bring the following documents with you when you go to the Social Security office to apply:

● A birth certificate or other document, such as your passport, showing when and where you were born.

● A document showing your immigration status, including your permission to work in the United States. This can be your Permanent Resident Card or passport with an immigration stamp or visa label.

Take both passport and Birth Certificate

They asked my birth certificate. But then again it was 11 yr ago.
