SSN/Green Card

[pinkmuffinparis 40]

My husband just arrived in the US 6 days ago. for everyone who is IR1 or CR1, I was wondering how long did it take for your SSN and green card to arrive in the mail. For the SSN we hit the check box that said that we automatically wanted to receive it in the mail upon his arrival

 

Thanks

About a month.  Can be up to several months.

 

The immigration visa endorsed by CBP is an I-551 green card that is good for 1 year.

 

If you don't get the SS card after a month, go to the SSA office.

10 to 14 days the SSN should come if not go to SS office and apply. Green card can take up to and beyond 120 days the norm is 30 to 60 days.
Long as the Immigration fee of $220 is paid the countdown starts

We got the SS card in 10 days and Green Card in about 3 weeks.  This was fast but may have been because we waited a few months to go through POE after receiving the visa and paid the fee upon receiving the visa. It may or may not have helped.

Ours was Houston (IAH).  We paid 3 months early and we got the Green Card and SS card quickly.  I can’t swear it made the difference but may have.
