EAD received, no SSN

Hello, two weeks ago we received my husband’s Employment authorization card in the mail. We checked that he needs a SSN in the paperwork. I’m just wondering what the typical wait time for the SSN is (he is eager to start working). I have seen some threads that say it doesn’t come until after the green card but doesn’t it make more sense that it would come with the employment authorization so he can begin working/paying taxes? Do we need to contact the SSA office? Any advice would be appreciated.

You should give it a full two weeks after the arrival of the EAD.   People are reporting anywhere from 1 week to over a months for getting SSN.

 

 

If you are going to the SS office, bring the EAD and  passport.    SS office might have a long wait, be prepared to spend at least 2-3  hours there so get there plenty of time before closing.

We saw people at the SS office getting frustrated after waiting for 30 minutes so be prepared.  Everyone is trying to do their jobs, there is no need for frustration. 

 

You might need to fill out the SS5 application.  They'll have the form there but you should make sure you have all the information needed for that form.
