Help Getting SSN #

[Salahn12 1]

I came to the US on a K1 visa and recently received my greencard. I did not apply for a work permit during this time either. As I was waiting for my greencard before I start applying for jobs.

And I just found a job, but the Social Security Office is closed due to the pandemic and they won't even pick up their phones either. I don't know what to do. Like my whole life is on pause due to the Social Security Office being closed. Can't get a license, can't get health insurance and I can't even start my job. I just hope my job offer doesn't get retaken. Anybody have this same issue with the SS office?

I don't know where you live, but 99% of the SS offices are open. I just got a new card issued here in NYC. 

 

Most offices are taking in person appointments for first SSC and mail in application for other stuff. If you can't get an appointment with the one close to you, call another one, and then another one. Any SS office can accept your application, not only the one next to you.
