Hello,

My daughter who was holding IR2 visa finally made it. She arrived here on June 8. When I was filing her DS 230 I indicated the social security card can be delivered to our home address.

Is there anything else should I do (apply for social security in person for her) or wait?

I have no experience with minors immigrating to the States...Sorry if the question has been asked before...

What is the timeline for Green Card to arrive? (if anyone knows)

Thank you so much

You really scared me for a moment! No immigrant is eligible for Social Security during the first 5 years of their residency.

Luckily, you were just talking about the card. Yep, it should arrive in the mail in about two weeks. If it doesn't arrive within about 3-1/2 weeks, go to the nearest SSA office and file an SS-5 application.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Sorry for the confusion. I did mean the card.

Thanks for the reply

How Old is your daughter? I would suggest going down to the local SS office and Applying. When my stepkids came we had to go to the office as they were minors and the card never arrived. Good Luck :)

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?

She is 8 years old. Green Card has not come either...I forgot how long it took to receive my first card. But that was long time ago...

I will wait another 2 weeks and then I will go in person. Thanks for the information

As far as the GC the average for the 4 that have arrived to my house ( :rofl: ) was about 4 weeks. The SS card once you go down to the office takes 5 days to 2 weeks :D
