yahayajp..
tnx for the response.. if i get the stamp.. can i apply for ssn the same day? or should i wait for sometime? i read a post here regarding applying for ssn thru EAD.. they said that it should be at least 14 days old.. im wondering if that time frame also apply with the stamp..
You can't get a SSN with the stamp.
I am afraid that is incorrect.
If you get the I-551 stamp at the interview itself, wait a few days if you can, to allow the approval to be fully registered across the immigration databases. The SS office will cross-check with immigration databases, and your SS card could be delayed by several weeks if they don't see your permanent resident status.tnx for the response.. if i get the stamp.. can i apply for ssn the same day? or should i wait for sometime?
