Mismatch in immigration document, not receiving SSN card.

[Mani65 0]

On September 23rd 2023, my H1B petition was approved while I was in India. I didn't go for H1B visa stamping. Instead came to US on August 24th 2024 on F1 student visa. So my I-94 document shows F1 as my current status. My SEVIS record (i-20) document is in "active" status from August 29th 2024. I tried applying for Social Security Number with an on-campus job offer. But I didn't receive my SSN Card even till now. The SSN officer told there is a mismatch shown and he had sent the photo copies of my documents to DHS for manual verification.

But there is no reply from DHS.

My question is, Is my previous H1B approved petition causing any issue in getting SSN card?

(Or) Will there be anyother reason?

Can you please provide some information and any inputs on  how this can be solved?

It sounds to me like DHS didn't properly update your status in the SAVE-system, and the Social Security Administration have sent a request through SAVE for DHS to manually confirm your current status.

 

If that is the case, you can check the current status of the SSA's request here: SAVE - CaseCheck (uscis.gov)

Most likely, you will find it under "Foreign Passport" but try other options too.

 

If there is a case there, there are two statusses:
* Returned to Agency (this means DHS has given their answer to the SSA, but unfortunately you cannot see what they said. Contact your SSA to ask about our application)

* Case Under Review (This means DHS hasn't given an answer to the SSA yet)

I checked the cases in SAVE online, I see cases already returned to agency. When I contact SSA asking for the status of application they just say that my immigration document is pending for verification from dhs. Although I say them regarding the SAVE status, they say they didn't receive any response. 

 

 I am not understanding how to get the issue resolved. Can you please suggest any inputs.

I have applied on oct 3rd and still waiting. SSA is not saying any timeline how many months it takes to get the mismatch cleared and get a social security number. Its really hard, I am unable to join to Work without an SSN

Welcome to the forum!  The original poster hasn't logged on to VJ since November, so a direct response may be unlikely.  Perhaps someone else can suggest a solution.
