I called again about two weeks ago for my husband, all they did was give him an appointment for December 14th. They said that the start of New Jersey doesn't allow people to send me documents. So we will have to wait. 

But I'm really happy for you!!!!

We are also from New Jersey and got stuck for 3 weeks without SSN. Just started calling today and got an answer that you can schedule appointment only if you are in dire need, like enrolling in insurance or getting a job. Another answer that you can't get it without GC and another one that it takes up to + weeks to transfer data from DHS to SSA. 

 

Hearing about December 14th sounds really disappointing at this point  but at least that's better than nothing. 

 

how did you manage to schedule an appointment?

Hi everyone, 

 

So my POE was July 2nd and I just received my SSN out of nowhere. I’m outside the USA and obviously couldn’t even get an appointment. 
 

The one thing I did was called the USCIS twice to ask them if a request had gone from their side to the SSA for my SSN since I had marked my DS-260 for it. The first time they generated an inquiry which didn’t yield a satisfactory response. The second time they connected me to a higher level official (because the inquiry didn’t resolve my issue). The higher level official categorically told me that now I won’t automatically get the SSN and once I’m in the country I should get an appointment etc etc. 

 

Now I don’t know if that did something or if someone just woke up from their slumber and decided to process my SSN but thought I’d just update here that I got it. 
 

Thanks!
