Hi Guys,

I still have not received my Social Security Card, I applied on August 29th (2 weeks ago) at the Miami Office. I need it so bad. I already have my green card.
Can anybody tell me how much longer I have to wait.

Thanks
 
If your application has been approved, you can call SSA and they will give you your number on the phone. The card can make its way through USPS in its own sweet time.

When I first came to the US, it took me almost a month to get a SSN (3 weeks I think), and then just over a month to get the physical Social Security Card (4.5 - 5 weeks I think).

Triple Citizen,

Do you think they will give me the number over the phone; I doubt it.
Almost 3 weeks ago, I called them to see if my info was updated in their system and the lady told me that she would not be able to do that.
Have done it yourself.
Waiting for the info from anybody.

Thanks

Can you get a SSN with only an EAD or do you have to wait until you get your GC/LPR status?

Yes, you don't need to wait for GC status. Even without an EAD, once you are authorized to work on any other visa that allows work you can get an SSN (e.g. J1, H1, F1 who works on campus, etc.).

I applied for mine on August 29th, and I called them this morning, they told me that I am still not in their system.
When did you exactly receive you SS Card.
 
I got mine that way. I was asked various security questions and then was given the number. Mind you, by that time the SSN application had been processed and the actual card was about to be mailed. I got the actual card three days after that phone call.

Hi Guys,

Would you believe that, I still have not received my Social Security Card.
I applied on August 29th, 2007 at the Miami Office.
Yesterday, I called them they told me they still have not verified my information with USCIS. Why is it taking so long?

Permanent Resudent since 8/14/07
 
Go back there and apply again! it should not take more than 3 weeks (that is what they told me!) to verify and then 2 more to receive the card.
 
I went to a ssa office today,they didn't even take my application,said to come back in 2weeks,because I would not be in the system yet...Aren't they suppose to take your application and then verify your info with uscis?

Yup. Go back and insist that they take it or give you a refusal in writing.

Thank you for your response.One more question.Does the uscis automatically update ssa with the information.Or does ssa have to get my application and then request verfication from uscis before uscis acts?
