Ongoing issues not having a SSN, but on the plus side my interview is scheduled!

[GordonRamsey 22]

I had my biometrics appointment a few weeks back and I just got my interview notice in the mail today 😃. Progress!!

 

I'm concerned about when exactly I'll be receiving my SSN in the mail. I had filed my I-765 with my I-485 in June 2020. My spouse and I are going to have to file joint taxes soon and I'm starting to worry that we won't receive it in time. 😕

If the I-765 isn't approved (and/or USCIS doesn't subsequently forward your SSN request to SSA) then you'll have to show SSA your Green Card. https://www.ssa.gov/coronavirus/

I need help with my Social Security Number (SSN)

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.

Yeah, I'm pretty SOL out of being able to do anything in person at my local social security offices. They've been closed since Covid started last year which is why I had to file for a I-765 to get one as my visa expired during the process. Of course I tried calling them over and over but I kept getting the same person who talks to me annoyingly on speaker phone the entire time and refused to help at all.

 

More likely we'll have to apply for an extension on our taxes and I'll need to mail out my passport or something to get an ITIN for filing because of how garbage our local social security offices are.

You can't request an itin if you have a green card. Offices are open. If the one you've been calling don't want to set up an appointment for you, just call another one.

Yeah, not in the state of Missouri. Here we like to have all of our offices permanently closed due to Covid as well as all of our phone numbers directed to the same support line.

Believe me, they are open. I've read multiple threads here of people in multiple states having the same issue and they kept calling trying to talk to a supervisor and they finally got an appointment. The SSA website clearly says that people that are applying for their first SSC have priority for in person appointments.
