[JeneLovesMata 1]

hello dear folks, i entered the usa with cr1 visa.

i was told to look for mail for ssn (i checked the box before interview) however it has been 4 weeks and i didn't receive it.

 

can i go to nearest ssn office with my passport and apply? 

can they see where is my ssn card?

will it complicate the process if i go to ssn office?

 

please advise, any help is much appriciated

Schedule appointment and check it

Yes, make an appointment at the ssn office. I've checked the ssn box in my application but nothing happened. After a couple of weeks after entering the US, I went to the ssn office and they couldn't find anything about my ssn case. So they started the process. After 2 weeks I went there again and even though the ssn card hasn't been produced yet, the number was already assigned. The lady in the office gave me the number "as an exception" and I was able to open bank accounts, get the drivers license and all the stuff. It's possible that your ssn number is already assinged, so yes, it's worth to go there and ask. Be friendly, humble and tell her that she has beautiful eyes 🙂
