Open that link above and your questions will be answered. Yes you may apply for a new ssn card even without a green card. The stamp in your passport serves as your temporary greencard. Been there done that. I received my GC recently and it took 71 days for them to deliver it. Good luck! :)

Hello everyone,

So I've been here in the U.S. for 1 month and still waiting for the Green Card, and while waiting can we apply for the SSN? What docs. will be needed? Is there any forms to be filled up? What are the process? And can I apply even if i haven't receive my green card?

DId you pay the $165 immigrant fee for the green card?

To apply for a SS#, go to the nearest SSA office and bring your original NSO birth certificate and your passport.

We don't get an i94.

SSA will look at your immigrant visa and the POE stamp.

Immigrant visa holders don't get an i94. We have the i551 stamp on our visas.

blahblah... - They won't ask much. Just your basic info. Bring your parent with you.
