SSN question!

[CQUELIS 19]

Hello,

 

Question. Those who received their green card before their EAD or AP. Did you receive the SSN in the mail or you had to apply for it at a local office? 

 

AOS from B2.

I had to apply for it myself. I set an in-person appointment at the local SS office, they looked at my original green card and application forms, and I got the SSN in the mail a week or two later. Easy peasy. 

 

If an misinformed SS employee tells you they don't do in-person appointments and that you should mail your GC to them, don't do it. Follow the steps in this thread instead:
