CRBA approved, when/where do we get a social security card?

Our CRBA and passport was approved in Mexico City and I would like to get a social security card before we enter the USA if possible. What is the fastest way to do that?

I assume you mean for your child?  Check out the instructions on the social security administration's website.  I imagine it is much like applying for an SSN for a baby born in the US.....filling out a form and providing a copy of the BC, plus in your case, a copy of the passport bio page.

Sorry to bother but how long did it take you to get an appointment for the CRBA? Currently the calendar is all grayed out and we are kind of freaking out! 

 

Thanks in Advance --

Just check a few times everyday and you should find something available, might take a week of searching.

Much easier to obtain it, in the states once you have the CRBA and passport. Can take months otherwise. I did it in the US and it took about 2 weeks or less,

I don't know about Mexico City, in Manila I was able to request SSN for my son. Card arrived 2-3 weeks later. No appointment was necessary.

In canada they do not offer SSN anymore you apply once in the states. I got my sons the same week I applied when we were in the states.
