Two weeks to one month.

NOTE I-551 stamp in passport will serve as a green-card, allowing work, and travel.

Some simply go to SSA office 2 weeks after entry, and apply for a SSN.

Not a Canada specific question, moving.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

How long does it normally take to receive your green card and SSN after coming to the USA on a CR-1? Thanks

Just an FYI - My husband made his POE on December 3 and got his Social Security card on December 14. We didn't go to the Social Security Office (he had checked the box on his DS-230 to automatically have one issued).

Still haven't received his actual Green Card Card, but he has the stamp in his passport and has been using it to travel back and forth to Canada daily for work with no problems.

My POE was on November 4 and still no SSN or green card... I too checked the box on the DS-230 to automatically issue. Wondering if where you make your POE makes a difference in how long you have to wait. Also wondering if I could go and file for a SSN even though I checked that box? Just don't want to cause any confusion.

Thanks for your help

I checked the box on the DS-230 as well but since I had read numerous posts about delays I went to the local office 3 weeks after my POE and applied. I took my passport, birth certificate and completed application, no issues at all, had card in 6 days.

It took 5 weeks to get my welcome letter and my GC arrived about 3 weeks after that.

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
