How long it takes SSN card to arrive after applying in Detroit, MI?

[n.e.w 0]

I got my EAD and applied for SSN card next day (13 May) and still I didn't get my card. We went to the SS office, but the lady said wait for 4 weeks before coming here. She didn't even bother to check the status of my application and said I can't do anything before 4 weeks.

Does someone know how long it takes SSN card to arrive? I applied in the SS office in Livonia, MI.

You most likely were not in the SAVE system and they will have to send your paperwork to DHS to verify which can take up to 4 weeks. Some people have had luck going back to the office and getting a print out of the number before getting the card. I have been waiting 3 weeks for mine. The cards are sent from one location and not from the office where you applied. Hopefully you will get it any day now.

Still waiting for the SSN card, did you get yours?

I had received my EAD on May 16 and went the same day to apply for my SSN. I am still waiting to receive it. I will hit 4 weeks on June 13th so if I don't get it by then, like you, I will have to go back to the office to follow-up on this.

I went today to SSN office after waiting for almost 4 weeks. I waited for more than one and half hour for my turn and all they did was print another receipt stating I will get my SSN card in 2 weeks, if not contact your local office. The lady at SSN office told me that my SSN is approved but didn't give me the print out with my SSN. She said I will get within 7 to 10 days.
