Hi Everyone,

 

My husband arrived in the US on 3/20 and has yet to receive his SS card. I'm sure this is due to most government agencies being closed atm. Was just wondering if anyone has received theirs in recent time? 

 

Thanks

Did you guys specifically requested a SSN as part of the visa application? If so, you guys seem to be outside of the time frame mentioned here in the SSA manual regarding enumeration at entry.

 

I suggest looking up your local SSA office based on zip code and see if they have a direct number listed for use during the COVID period. They can tell you if they can find your husband in their system and where to go from there.

There was a thread from a few days ago along the same lines .. but longer time since entry .. the poster there called the local SSA office ... and was offered the opportunity to post the immigrants original passport with visa in it to the office ... not sure if I’d be doing that...  but that was the response they were given   Might be worth a phone call to your local office to ask ...

Honestly, that's the most likely outcome if they can't find that you have been issued a number and it's one of two of their options. The other one being in-person visit, which due to current circumstances isn't possible.
