i received my GC : 4/8/23.
on the card it said resident since 3/31/23.
my lawyer didnt apply for SSN because i already had SSN from my asylum case 5 years ago. so the box on -485 was marked NO
went to SSA office today on 4/10/23 ( i did online apppointment the day before) to get unrestricted SSN card. before i went to the office i do research and it seems i can just go the moment i got the GC without waiting few days or weeks. also i know there's 2 people whose GC got approved on the same day, already got their unrestricted SSN card by mail a week ago.
Bring tons of document but what he wanted to see :
Driving license
Foreign passport
Green card
the officer cant update my status. he asked to his colleague " when i input her hometown, it wont let me go through " and his colleague said " probably because her GC date is so recent like 10 days ago ". the officer talked to me and he said sometimes it took a while for USCIS to update the system.
he can see my record on the computer, print it out and give it to me to check if any information correct. he then give me a letter with reference number that confirm i did come to the office today and it stated on the letter probably took 4 weeks for me to get the new card because they need to verify with other agency. i asked him if i need to go back, he said no.
i'm on a fence to go to DMV tomorrow to update my driving license just in case i have similar issue. i already check on their website and to call my DMV that i dont need to bring my SS card as long as i have the number.
does anyone have similar issue? and how long does it take for u to receive unrestricted SSN card after the issue got resolved
