SSN Question

[bf__ 501]

Hi,

 

I applied for a Social Security Number last week (11th June), was told it needed manual verification - anyhow, I found the 2 cases in the SAVE Database and both have shown returned to SSA. My alien number was sent back right away (I checked as soon as I left the office), and my passport number has been sent back as of Monday this week (17th June).

 

I called SS just now and I was told it's still with the gentleman I spoke to. The gentleman I spoke to when I first applied said he'd give me a call at the very least when he hears back (which I'm not holding my breath on).

 

My question is 'now what?'. Should I go back in next week and try and get some more information?

Any tips/experiences will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I had the same experience. 1 week after SAVE returned the case, I received my SS card in the mail. All sounds completely fine to me!

My ssn was manually verified twice before marriage and when name changed. 

Each time it took about 2 weeks to get my ssn card. Be patient and if you’ve heard nothing after 4 weeks to back in.

It sounds pretty normal to me. Give it a little while. Mine took about 10 days from the appointment to receiving my SS card. It was the same thing when I got my Green Card. FWIW - not sure if you are changing your name when you get married - I could NOT update my SSN into my married name until I had my Green Card because up until then, USCIS has you registered with the names you used on your original application for K1

Thank you all for your replies - I called the office today because I had nothing else to do, and it's been processed! 

 

Manual verification only took a week, good news for future filers!

Hey, did you receive your card in the mail yet? I’m at the 5 weeks mark and the SAVE case was returned to the agency around 10 days but I haven’t received anything. Planning on calling in to check on it.

My card took about 10 days to arrive, with the 4th coming it may be next week.

You’re lucky! I applied on May 31st and still nothing even though the SAVE case was returned early June. The helpline number they give is all automated and useless so just going to have to wait til next week to go to the SSA and ask about it.

Call the SSA office you applied at, they can provide more accurate information.

Yeah I did but couldn’t get through earlier today and they closed at 12 so I can wait it out until they open.

Didn't know that! I'll update this thread if I end up getting it soon

Figured I’d provide an update on my situation in case anyone experiences the same thing. It seems to be pretty common from reading the other threads on here. 

 

My process: 

12th May: Arrived in US

31st May: Applied for social security card at SSA

9th July: Returned to SSA to see what was taking so long as I hadn’t received my card. They said they couldn’t verify my status as my middle names (I have 2) had been added to my first name as my given name. This is because this is how it is displayed on my passport and therefore also the I-94. They ended up submitting a new SAVE case but told me to contact DHS as it would probably be rejected again. I emailed SAVE.help@uscis.dhs.gov to explain the situation but received no response and didn’t expect one really but figured I’d try it as my final attempt to get the card before sending my AOS application. Who knows if it helped or not but I got the card. 

22nd July: Card was issued

28th July: Received card in the mail

 

I ended up mailing my AOS/EAD/AP applications off on July 24th and turns out they mailed my SS card on the same date. I did tick the box to receive a SSN with my EAD but won’t be needing that now.
