Last Tuesday my wife received her welcome to the U.S. notice. Then Saturday she received 3 more identical welcome letters. We would gladly swap all these extra letters for a SSN. BTW, if I had to do it again, I would not check the box on the DS-230 to apply for a SSN but would go to the SS office after entry and apply there.

I suppose it is better to be overly welcomed then the alternative.

Hang tough. It all takes a little time.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

What matters most now is she's there with you... the rest will just happen one at a time. :thumbs:

The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are;

you end up being complete with your loved ones."

It is kinda annoying when the process is delayed leaving the applicant in limbo. You might consider going to your local SS office to see if they can be of assistance. They may be able to either tell you what's going on and/or even help to get the process back on track.

That's what I would do...

Cheers!!!

I agree sheriff. It's been nearly 5 weeks, so we plan to drop by our local SS office since it's only about 15 minutes away.

Checked with the local SS office and they showed no SSN in process. The odd thing was that once they punched in her A#, all the info was on file and it didn't take long to have the application in process. They said card will arrive in 7-10 days, so we shall see.
