Social security #

[VJmember2020 32]

Hello all 

 

my wife arrived in the states last month from the UK with the CR1 visa. 
 

any idea how long it takes to receive the SS #in the mail? 
 

she wanted to register for her drivers license but needs the social security # for that. Thank you

A month should be more than enough time.  You may want to book an appointment at the SSA office for your wife to apply for SSN in person.  First-time applicants are currently being prioritized -- https://www.ssa.gov/coronavirus/

Gotcha. Will do. 
we did apply for the SSN to be applied for as we were looking at the DS-260 yesterday. 
 

do you remember if it got sent via DHL? I got an email today saying something in the mail is coming via DHL.

SSA will send the card via USPS.
