CR1 Social Security Card

Hi Everyone,

 

My husband came to the US with a IR1 Visa on March 21st.  How long do we have to wait for his social security card to come in the mail?  We did check the box on the DS230 form for it to be mailed.  However, I have read that is not always reliable and we might have to go to the SSA office to apply in person.  I have seen outdated information on this topic so hoping someone has an update on how long it usually takes.  It will be 3 weeks since date of entry tomorrow.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't received after 2 weeks of arrival (and you have not) you will need to go to your local SSA office and apply. Fill out the application. They will check to see if you are in system and take your application. If no issues you should receive in 7 to 10 days after that.

Following. Arrived April 1, 2017. Going to my 3rd week here and still no ssn card

I would just go in to the SSA office and apply.  I am giving it until May 1st but my husband already received his GC no SSN card yet so best bet is to go in.  Give it a month so you don't duplicate it.

How long did your husband waited for the green card? Still waiting for mine too.

He just got it on Saturday so I would say 3 weeks and 6 days almost a month.  Still no social.  However it can take up to 120 days...
