I got my SSN a week after arriving, I already have it so they do. I don't have my GC though, my POE is DFW.

 

When did you pay?

We paid after his interview which was Oct. 7, 2020. I think the SSN depends on your local SSA. Ours is San Jose, CA and they don't issue it automatically anymore :(.

Exactly how long does this take to arrive?

 

Entered US on 1st Nov, 2020. 

 

Sounding like a spoilt kid because you guys waited a long time but I just passed my GED and now I'm trying to join the military. Don't think they'll let me with a stamp 😕 

 

The website says 90 days, you guys waited like, 200.

My husband entered Nov 6, 2020. And just got his friday November 20, 2020. His POE was SFO. But stil no SSN. We called our local SSA, and they said they dont issue them automatically anymore with the DS-260 form. So apply in person. 

An update during the pandemic. 

So its been 2 weeks since my husband arrived, we got the green card but no ssn. And since our  local SSA is for appointments only and closed for walk-ins, calling for the appointment takes an hour. The lady was nice. She DIRECTLY told us that they dont automatically issue a SSN thru DS-260 anymore. IF SO, THEY SHOULDVE JUST TOOK OUT THAT OPTION FOR SSN IN THE FORM. Only thing is that it takes 2 to 3 months to ISSUE an appointment. Thats not even the appointment itself. So im probably looking into 4 or 5 months on getting my hubby's SSN. This is crazy.
