Hello All,

It's been 2 months since I landed to US and this is 7th week while I am waiting for my Social Security Number. When contacted SSA, they said it's pending for level 3 verification.

Following them agressively but they are saying we cannot confirm on the timelines as it can take upto 6-8 months also.

My employer has not released even a month's salary due to SSN not granted, hence not sure what can be done and how and whom I can contact SSA for this? Kindly advice.
 
There's no legal reason why your employer can't pay you before you receive your SSN. If you started work and they choose not to pay you, perhaps there is some way for you to complain to your state's agency for employment issues?
