SSN Updated/New cards

HI REcent Cpers in April/MAy,

IN the Cp Interview, Consulate has taken signed forms for issue of New SSNs for dependents who doesnt have SSNs & Corrected or Changed SSNs for people already having SSNs.

Does this mean, we will get the same along with the welcome letter or plastic card. OR we have to apply for SSNs separately with SSN Office.

Pl clarify.

I have the same question. Do we just wait for the SS Administration to send the new SS cards OR do we approach them?

Thanks.

Raju,

You don't have to call SS Adminstration for anything. The new SS cards should arrive automatically. The SS card from SSA and the welcome letters will come from Texas Service center.

Mine new SS card with olde number came within a week after POE.

Thanks.
 
My SSN has not arrived yet..

Hi Guys,

POE was on 19th May (Los Angeles).
Welcome letter received in 2 weeks.
No SS Card or Plastic card yet.

Should I contact TSC? Or it's ok.

Thanks.

Replied in the other post. The plastic cards envelope is different from the welcome letters envelope. You should have the plastic card pretty soon (in a day or two). The SS cards will come from the local/regional SSA office. SS cards should be coming soon too.

Thanks.
 
Hi Friends,
I entered US (Chicago) on 25 May 2003 after CP in Chennai on 22 May 2003 but have not yet received the welcome letter. Should I be contacting the BCIS for this.
Experienced people please advice.
Thanks,

Some POEs are slower than others in sending the paper work to Texas Service Center, where BCIS orders the plastic cards. The time frame for this process is 3 to 6 months. You may want to contact the TSC, just to make sure all your paper work is in order.

Thanks.

received Welcome letter & plastic card in successive days

HI Folks,

POE- Chicago on 06/02/03
rcvd welcome ltr - 06/20/03 for all family(3 of us)
rcvd plastic card- 06/21/03 for me and my wife( awaiting my sons PC)

Advice requested on a issue

My wife has a big first name which is actually a two word name.( Rxxxx Mxxxxxx) In the A letter gvn to us in consulate, they had typed her first name in first name field only.

NOw the Plastic card and welcome letter arrived as FIRST name and INtial i.e Rxxxx M ( I presume the guy typing mistook the space inbetween words and keyed as MIDDLE name). I think thats what it means when there is a intial after name. Am I correct?

Should I have to refile her I90 or NOt bother abt this continue without any change.

SRI_IL
 
If I understand correctly the following is style of your wife's name:

First Name : Rxxxx Mxxxxxx
Middle name: -none-
Last Name: xxxxxxx

And, you got the letters and the plastic cards as following:

First Name : Rxxxx
Middle name or initial : M
Last name: xxxxxxx

If this is the case seek a change by filing the I-90 form unless
she wants to continue in the new style.

I have the same problem with a two word first name. I always
have to explain how it needs to be written.

Raju
 
thats the same pblm

Raju,

U can explain what u want and I did that very carefully at Consulate and cross checked too.

BUT the result is what matters. The person making the entry to INS computers thought otherwise( he wouldnt know our INDIAN STYLE of 2 word names) and typed. Now, I think SS card also will come in that style.

You know how much time this I-90 will take( almost a year). I donno whats the processing time for the NEW electronic filing for I-90( If it is around 2-3 months) best bet is to change or use the new style of name.

what future problems this may bring????

thanks

Hi Sriram,
My husband and I entered the US on 25 May (POE: Chicago) , he got his welcome letter and card and I have not got mine yet. Interview was on May22. Tried to contact the BCIS, but they just asked me to wait for some more time, was not even able to find out if there was something missing in my file. Did you try contacting the BCIS? If yes, what did they say? Do let me know. Experienced people please advice on what should be done.
Thanks a lot,
-ssg
