My wife just got back from our local SS office a bit miffed. We were excited having received her Green Card on Friday afternoon.
We went to the Social Security office this morning only to be told by this rather obnoxious lady (I'm sorry, but she was down right rude and not just to us but to every person - everyone in the waiting room was shocked how rude she was) at any rate, we were told that there is a 10 day-ish period after the Green Card is received which needs to be processed into Social Security's system to show her number to be "validated".
I'm just wondering if this is technically correct. We were under the impression that once she receives her Green Card that she can apply for a SSN right away.
Can anyone shed some more light here?
Many thanks in advance.
