Have you got SSN on the same day you apply for?

Hi everyone,

I posted another thread regarding SSN but since my status on SSN database is updated, I would like to ask you people about another question as I mention on the title of this thread.

I have permanent resident card, green card holder and i went to the SS office to get new SSN( never issued before), but my status on their database was pending so it was not issued. I called to the office and they told me i was verified, so I will come in to the office on Tuesday( because monday is Colombus day, natinal holiday).

Do you think they will give me my SSN on the same day?
I know SS CARD itself will be mailed in 2-3 weeks, but i was wondering if they give me number.

If you have any experience that you obtained SSN on the same day, or next day or something, please share your experience.

Tahnks,

They don't issue the card on the spot. hey mail it in a couple of days.

JoeK, thank you again for your reply,

I have read it usually takes 2 weeks to get it by mail. But also I have heard you will be noticed the SS number by the receipt or the paper stated "SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER VARIFICATION".
One of my friend got received both receipt and SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER VARIFICATION letter(which you have a number on) on the same day when she had to change her SS condition on her card.

She also said you may get those letter separetely, receipt is on the same day you apply for, second letter which you have SSN after 2 days of request day.

Since I have an information by SSA that they proceed a case if they verify its case, I was wondering they will give me SSN when i visit the office on Tuesday. Because my case should be on their system already and got verification from USCIS.

Still confused, just will see my luck on Tuesday.

You can ask them for the number, I doubt they'll have then. However, you can call 1-800-772-1213 in a couple of days and get the number over the phone. The card will arrive later in the mail.

Well I was going to call to 1-800 before coming into the office.
But does it mean calling to 1-800 number to get SSN is faster than coming into the office?

I have called 1-800 few days ago regarding new number and they said they can not answer the question whoever does not have SSN.

Getting number over the phone could be someone who already got SSN before, or I dont know.

Also I was wondering reps from 1-800 would not tell the number to whom they can not identify them???
