SSN Manual Verification TWICE?!

[nidcaudi23 13]

This is my first post.  

 

I want to start off by saying this site has been a blessing and made it possible to get as far as we have.  

I really am grateful to the infinite knowledge and empowerment that this site has given us

 

I want to know if anyone has been through this and is is there ANYTHING we can do?

 

Situation: 

My foreign fiance arrived with me at POE on Oct 7th 2019  with his K1 visa and we applied for SSN on Oct 30th 2019. 

We were told it would have to go through manual verification. 😕 

4 weeks later on Nov 27th 2019 a letter was sent which we received on Dec 2nd 2019 stating he had been approved for his SSN and could take 2 weeks to receive.

( we though at the time great it was all going to work out)

Today, Dec 17th 2019 my partner calls SSA to let them know we have not received that SSN and they advised to come in the office since it was past the two week mark and they should be able to give us the SSN in person and we could wait for a card to be re-mailed.

We went in to the office right when it opened at 9 AM ESTand the said there is a problem with his visa and that he has to be RE-MANUALLY Verified and it will take an ADDITIONAL 4 WEEKS.

The SSA office just stated there is a problem with visa and Homeland Security is requiring to be re-verified and there was nothing they could do.

I asked repeatedly if we could at least have the SSN, seeing as he was approved which means they did assign him one and you only get 1 SSN but to no avail. 

 

How could he be approved and then need to be re-verified???

What could be wrong with the Visa??

 

The only thing I could think of is that we were married on Dec 7th 2019... but still it was APPROVED 10 Days before the marriage.

Therefore there should not be anything wrong at all with his Visa. 

 

Does anyone have any advice or has anyone been through this that can help to give me some perspective... because I just feel so defeated at this point.  

 

His I-94 expires Jan 4th 2020.

***** I went back to SSA at 2:30 PM EST after another thread that had DHS phone number 888-464-4218.  Talked to a super nice guy named Brandon and said go back to SSA and have someone at SSA call number and DHS can walk SSA through the verification process online step by step... at SSA spoke to the supervisor at that office and they refused to call DHS but did give me the actual SS number this time but said he still can not have a card because it has to be re-verified.  I'm so tired of fighting with SSA so I have the SS# now .. and I think I will just wait for a card to be mailed with his EAD as I did request to have a card mailed on that form ***
