PVILLE85,
SSA has to request the verification from USCIS, once your info is verified, SSA can then issue you a SS Card.
I called the SS Office this morning, they told me to come in so I can reapply, Is this normal, after applying almost 5 weeks ago.
Anybody who has had the same experience, please share.
We too are in the same situation. My wife had a COS from H4 to F1 in Aug. We applied for SSN in Aug itself. Till today, they claim that they cannot see her in the system and that they have sent documents to USCIS for verification. We even made an infopass appointment with USCIS last week, but it did not help.
Right now, my wife is carrying on her on-campus employment based on the acknowledgement letter given by SSN office that she has applied and that she can work while it is pending

Well I went to my local ss office and they said i'm not in the system and to come back in 2weeks.So me being impatient I let a couple days go by and I went to the office downtown,same response except the customer rep gave me an exact day this week to come back,she said it will be in the system by then...Well I hope the third time is a charm,if not i'm going to insist that they take my application/give me the refusal letter.

I did go to the Social Security office this morning, It seems that they just verified the information with USCIS. They told me I should receive it in 8-10 days. I am a bit relieved.
Guys,
This is funny and pathetic too. I made a request last week through my local SS office to make correction regarding my date of birth on my SS records. I have the number since 2001. Today, I received SS card in the mail with a new SS number in my name.
Now, I have two social security numbers. All I wanted them is to make corrections on my old social.
Any suggestions please

I went to SSA office to apply for my wife's Social Security card based on EAD (She previously had Tax ID #), I also filled an application for myself to replace my card which was issued in 2001 based on my H1B visa and says "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" but this lady at SSA office told me that even with EAD I will get SS card which says "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" and this restriction will be removed only after getting Permanent Resident Status (Green Card), Anyone who received SS card based on EAD please share your experience.

The same thing is happening to me. I applied to have my unrestricted SS card on Sept 6,07 and i still havent gotten it. They said they are awaiting verification from USCIS. Which is strange because I had a card before and it took them only 10 days to verify that one. Why is it taking so long? Should I go back there and reapply?

You CAN get hired. But you can not receive your paycheck, they (your employers) will hold it for you until you get your SSN and then pay you (unless of course they treat you as an independent contractor and give you a 1099 instead of a W2).
In my case, I started working as soon as I got my EAD, but I did not get paid until I got my SSN (one month later).
I think you can even get paid, don't think thats an issue. IRS knows about the delays in SSNs. Only possible issue could come when the company issues your W2, even there I believe you can say applied for

It's been now 6 weeks since I applied for my new Social Security Card.
Last week I had to go to Social Security Office for the third time, to me it seemed like they verified my info with USCIS and I was told that I would receive my card in 8-10 days.
Yesterday when I called my local office, a lady told me that it still had not cleared up. She asked me if I had received anything from Immigraton yet, I told her "no".
She said she can't understand why they would tell me "8-10 days" if my application is still pending. Who should I believe?
If someone knows better please inform me. Because I am starting to loose hope.

SS Card received!
Jojolie,
My husband applied for his SS on September 24th. We called on Monday and was told his card was sent out on October 2nd. He received it on October 10th. In all his process was 2 weeks. He received his EAD in the mail on 9/20. So if I were you I would check in with USCIS to see if SSA has been in contact with them to verify the info. I would also call the national SSA number and register a complaint just in case USCIS did their part.
