I have authorization to work from July 1st.I matched for an internal residency program in NY.The residency starts on July 1st.
I went to the SSN office twice but in vain.They said I cannot apply for SSN number before the authorization of work period start.They gave me a letter stating that I can get a number only after July 1st.My prospective colleague in MA got it in two days.He is also starting residency on July 1st.Why this discrepency?

Can anybody give some input/feedback on this?
 
The differences could be because of policy not being communicated properly, difference in agents expertise and so on. Try in a different SSA office, or wait for a few weeks.
