For most people arriving on a CR1/IR1 Visa the SSN is a no problem and issued within a week sometimes 2 weeks. Well here is some FYI for the rest of us who don't get t that fast.

On the DS-260 yes you checked you want a Social Security Number sent to you but as we were told when we went to social security office on day 10 after POE many times the name of immigrant gets typed in wrong or backwards and your request will literally sit until you go to SS office and apply for a card.

My husbands Visa and Passport has Middle Name, First Name, Last name. Birth Certificate is first Name, Middle Name, Last name. So his Alien status had to be verified since documents they said were different. That was done July 8th. July 21st all clear and Jult 22nd Card issued. We received today.

So here's my tip. I know we say wait 2 weeks for card. I say 7 to 10 days after POE no card (it only takes 4 days to issue from POE), go to the SS office and verify you are in the system. If you aren't you have to apply by filling out the application.

Most people after applying get card with 5 days. Others like us must be verified with Border patrol.

so again here are you steps to getting your SS card..

1. Arrive in US

2. If no SSN in 7 to 10 days (give them at least 5 business days to get you in system)

3. Go to SS office

4. Verify you are in the system

5. If not fill out application (actually have filled out just in case

Be sure you take passport, birth certificate with you. Also marriage certificate especially for women doing name changed

Wow I am in Houston also. Green card delivery still is 4 t 8 weeks. May take more may take less. Hard to track until they actually ma it then maybe you will see something on our case status screen otherwise just wait patiently. Green card isn't needed but the SSN sure is.

I went to Social Security Office and the lady told me, I have to wait 4 weeks, before I come back to apply for it. The problem is, we need SSN for everything for the bank, insurance, change my Drivers license. I arrived on 26th of July (3days ago).

It means for 4 weeks I cannot do anything, just sit at home and wait? It doesn't make sense. I am living in Alexandria, VA.

You are already in the form. This is the Security forum.

Go back and apply. Don't wait around.
