Waiting for SSN??

[july052007 0]

hello guys...

im in the same boat as you are... soon as i got my EAD, i applied for SSN right away... been more than 2 weeks now, called SSA and even went to the office for the 2nd time.. all i got was they havent received any response from USCIS yet... so i was advise to wait or call USCIS for that... i called USCIS and said to schedule myself for an INFOPASS, well i didnt... so my plan is just to call SSA again this week hoping they have received what they need from USCIS and just wait... anyways i can still work while waiting for the SSN...

hope we get a clear answer to this SSN issue!!!

oh well... its been a month today and havent received any SSN... called SSA customer service a million times, no clear answers received... went to infopass today USCIS and said that i should be good to go since my EAD is valid and that SSA should verify it at once... went to SSA office and said that they had a mistake with the forms they have submitted, so confused... have to re-do everything at the SSA, to find out the the guy who typed all my info the very first time i appliec made tons of TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR!!! f#@*K... i have corrected all the info today and still they told me that its not verifying and that i have to wait for 4 weeks, oh my... what the heck, am i waiting for nothing again????? what is wrong why cant they verify my status electronically??? shouldnt the word electronically means REAL TIME?? and if USCIS said that im good to go, why cant SSA see that in their system??????????????????????????

Because in some cases (seems yours) when SSA submits the electronic verification, immigration requests to see a copy of the immigration document. The copy of the front and back of the immigration document is mailed to immigration along with Form G-845 and then it gets mailed back to SSA. SSA needs to allow a month for a response before following up.

You need to go back into the office to find out what's going on. Be sure to have ID with you, i.e. passport, driver's license.
