It should be delivered to your address.

Register for USPS informed delivery so you can receive in your email a preview of the envelope when it is about to arrive.

Hi guys , im about 1 month here in U.S new and waiting for Social Security Number , but nothing recived Yet !! so im asking here do i need to go to SSN office and apply if and wait to come in mail?   most ppls wich i ask here around me (cousins) told me the SSN should come with Green card at same Day , but i dont think same like him ! what should i do? thanks

 

It's up to you how long you want to wait.  I got my SSN card in the mail around a week after arriving in the US, even if I still don't have my plastic green card.  In your case, I would suggest applying for SSN in person at your local SSA office.

No. Seems it happens about 50% of the time. You can take the required documents to the SS office.. but you will need to call your local office and ask if they are open for appointments

Likely if if you have checked SSN application on DS-260.

 

If not checked the option, of course you aren't getting it at all. Need to apply thru a SSA.

If you need it urgently, you should call the SSA and book an appointment as I did and I received it a week after the appointment and my husband did not receive his SSC so far and we received the green card after 70 days of entering the USA and we checked SSN on DS-260. Also this happened after advice of Mr. Arken and others

unless you have a full scan of the whole petition you won’t know. It’s advised to make a full scan of everything you send to immigration so when a need like this arises, you can just quickly check yourself.
