Hello Everyone, 

 

My spouse came to the United States on K-1 visa and he received EAD card in the mail the end of September. We are still waiting for his social security card to come home so he can start working. It has been about 5 weeks and we have no received anything in the mail for him. I called USCIS and they gave me a number to contact my local SSA office. When I called SSA, they were unable to track his information/ mentioned that there are no records on file for him. I have checked online and many people say that they been through the same problem but still received their SSN in the mail in 4-6 weeks. At this point, I am just nervous and scared. I do not know what is the best thing for me to do! Is there any possible ways to track ssn better or if anyone has experienced the same thing? Please share your experience so my heart can be at ease because it is during Covid right now and no office is open for in person appointments. I have been on hold and hung up numerous times and I honestly do not know what to do! Please help!

Try to get an appointment at your local SS office if possible. Most are allowing appointments for important stuff, md I believe getting a ss card is one of them.

 

We are prioritizing requests for in-person SSN services for:

  • Individuals age 12 or older applying for their first SSN card.
  • Individuals who need to update or correct their SSN information (such as your name, date of birth, or citizenship) to obtain income, resources, or medical care or coverage, or other services or benefits (for example filing a tax return, applying for housing, or seeking an Economic Impact Payment).

If you believe you qualify for an in-person appointment, call your local office. You can look up the phone number for your local office by accessing our office locator. Please note that appointments may not be immediately available, depending on local health and safety conditions and staffing.

If was card issued due to filing AOS paperwork, you need to go into ssa office and apply in person.  No more fone calls, stop doing searches.

 

Just go in.

Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
