:rolleyes: hi, every one:
i received my green card a few months ago, took a long trip outside the US, when we came back , i went to social security office to remove the notation on my SS card, got a receipt said i will receive my new card in 10 days, if i have not receive it within 2 weeks, i should let them know, now it has been exactly 2 weeks and i have not received anything, do i need go to SS office again( i really don't want to wait more than 2 hours there), guys and gals, when do you receive your new card? please reply. thank you very much!
 
i don;t see a big hurry to get it...

Is there any reason you need your new SS card? I can't think of any place I have actually been asked for my SS card.

If I were you, I'd wait some more - these things always take time.

In my case, I had the unrestricted SS Card from the very beginning. So I did not have to apply for a new SS card after getting my Green Card. However, for my wife's case, she used to have a restricted SS Card (Not Valid for Employment written on it) and we had to apply for a new unrestricted one after her I-485 was approved and passport was stamped. We went to the SSN office and they accetpted the application but gave us a receipt stating that after they get the clearance from the DHS, they will send the card to us within two weeks. When I asked how long such a clearance will take and they said about 1 month. After about a month we did get a notice from the SS administration that the new card has been issued and will be mailed to us within a week. We received that card in about week after receiving that notice. So if you have applied for a new SS Card, it may take about 6 to 8 weeks to get it. Rest assured that the issuance of an unrestricted SS Card will need DHS clearance and the SS Card willl only be issued after such a clearance is issued in your favor.
