Social Security Card

[GAZAZ 1]

Any idea here, social security card delivery timeline this 2020.

We arrived Dec. 30, 2019. F3 category. We are waiting for our social security card delivery. Any experience pls..

Usually you’d get it already. Go into a SSA office with your passport with stamped visa to follow up.

I tried, but yet our record is not available.Anybody here who requested Sscard on DS260, and already here in the U. S. How is your Sscard arrive and in how many days does it arrive? Pls I need to know. We are more than a month here and still waiting for Sscard.

Then you need to apply for one. https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf
SS cards usually arrive in less than two weeks after arrival.

Go into SSA.   We had better luck going to a suburban office.  The downtown one said to wait.   A day later we went another office , waited less, and a supervisor took care of it.

if they don’t have a record of you as you said before, imo something went wrong with the automatic application (it happens sometimes). They will need to see your proof of LPR anyway to issue now so you may as well stop wasting time on the phone and just go into an office with the application, in my opinion.

Well let's see. POE on December 28th 2019. According to SSA, card was issued and sent on December 31st. Card never arrived.

Waited three weeks. Saw a nice lady at my local SSA office on January 21st. Was told two weeks. At time of posting this, it's been 10 working days and nada. I am understandably concerned that such a crucial document (Real ID act for drivers license requirements etc) has potentially gone missing TWICE.

 

I've now camped out in my local SSA office three times, spending on average an hour each time. I am reluctantly planning a fourth trip on Monday.

 

The less I mention of USPS screwing up my green card delivery along with USCIS not updating my address, the less my blood pressure raises.
