Wifey has her temporary GC in hand and is waiting for her original one which is supposed to arrive in 30 days. POE has already been entered however she is back in Germany to help me move the family back once I return from deployment. We were told at the POE that her ssn would arrive inside 3 weeks. We called today(end of 3 week wait) and she has not even been issued a number yet. Has anyone ever received a ssn just by checking that little box on the ds-230 or did everyone have to apply for one once you made it to your final destination?

Quite a few people do not get it and have to go apply in person at the local SSN office.

Yeah that is what's been bothering me. We got the welcome letter and called to inquire about the status of her ssc and was told she has not been issued and was not going to be issued one.

More often than not the "automatic" thing doesn't work. Matter of fact, Deb+Steve is the first person I meet where it actually did work, lol.

So I take it, our wife didn't go to the to SSO and apply for one after a while :blink: She could try going through the next military post and applying for her SSN there, it might just work for her. That's just a guess on my part, but I figure if you can apply for your newborn's SSN after the birth abroad, she might be able to apply for hers, too. Worth a try. Did you deploy from Germany?

05/2007 - got married in Germany

05/2007 - filed I-130 via DCF in Frankfurt

08/2007 - interview to prove bona fide marriage

09/2007 - hubby PCSed to GA

04/2008 - hubby on RnR in Germany

08/2008 - received CR-1 visa

12/2008 - flew to GA alone to welcome home the hubs

09/2009 - PCSed to CA

03/2010 - we're pregnant!

06/2010 - applied for German "BBG" to retain German citizenship during naturalization

08/2010 - BBG granted

09/2010 - filed ROC

12/2010 - received 10 year GC

12/2010 - our little miracle is born!!!

01/2011 - PCSed to Germany

01/2012 - filed N-400 for overseas naturalization

03-15-2012 - Best of Both Worlds, I'm a dual citizen :-)

Yeah we called the consulate and they told her to bring the documents in and they could process her ssc from there. So hopefully its taken care of now. Next would be her BBG and her N400 but we will wait till we pcs for that.

If your home station is still in Germany, she can do that from here, too, and get sworn in in Frankfurt. I just went throught the whole overseas naturalization process and was done in two months.

It would be great if she could do it while we are still in Germany, but she wants to wait till our son's paperwork come back so they can go through it together.
