I had to make appointment for the SSN and got a date for next month, I am truly hoping I would get it soon in other to apply for a job, But I was giving appoint for Sept 25th, Anyone know how I could apply in time to get it sorted? 

 

Also I have been waiting for my green card to be mailed out its almost 4 weeks I arrived and nothing about green card yet.

 

I have done the driving lesson and I past, I was issued a learners and the originally drivers license will arrive in my mail in 14 days or so, but I am driving with supervision now. I am just worried about getting my ssn and green card 

 Please advise

to apply for a job

You can start working before receiving the SSN. If the employer uses E-verify then the employer can select "Awaiting Social Security number." https://www.e-verify.gov/faq/my-employee-applied-for-a-social-security-number-ssn-but-has-not-yet-received-it-what-should-i An example of working legally before receiving SSN:

 

Also: https://www.twc.texas.gov/news/efte/employees_without_ssns.html

It is certainly legal to hire someone who is authorized to work in this country, but who does not have a social security number or who chooses not to disclose it.

waiting for my green card

The CBP-endorsed Immigrant Visa is your temporary I-551 document. You can show that to your new employer: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/temporary-i-551-stamps-and-mrivs

No need to wait for GC. You can apply at  a SSA office with your passport with the immigrant visa on it.

Ok thank you, I did get appointment at the SSA office but the date is Sept the ending

I am trying to find out, I have been in the United States now 44 days today. and I have appointment at the SSA office sept 24th. I am yet to receive my green card, its been 53 days I pay the 220 before getting into the United States, I need some help and information, am I at the right path or is there anything else I need to do, The SSA office seem to have a back log and gave me appointment for 24th. Please advise me is there anything else or am I doing the right thing. When do I expect to get the green card in the mail?

 

Thanks Fam.

You are on the right path, just need to wait a bit more for GC, no need to do anything.

Thank you for your kind response, I do appreciate it.

If you applied for your SSN in the DS260 you don't need to apply again in-person.

Both GC and SSN can take 120 days.

Yes I did applied for both, but I am finding it hard to get a job as they are wanting my SSN in other to offer me a job, The e-verify I don't understand how that works with the employer, please advice

Employers have 90 days to file your I9.

Many will not hire without proof of SSN due to that legality so you may have to go in person.

Or you could just wait to work until you get it.

Up to you.

Just bring your passport if the green card doesn't arrive on time. The stamped immigrant visa serves as evidence of permanent residency for 1 year from the date of entry and can be used for anything a green card can: work, getting a SSN, getting a driver's license, international travel, etc.

We are in the same boat with SSN and we were also told to just go in person. My husband arrived in June and we still don't have his. To get his GC we created a new account with USCIS and he sent a message. They sent the GC within a week. As far as a job he finally found one that would allow him to work while he waits for the SSN. Typically they need a letter from SSN stating this is an issue in their end but he is still eligible for one.

We sent an inquiry through our portal. I think they don't check always when you all enter.
