I just got home from social security office. I was naturalized 5 days ago and I asked them to update my status. She asked for my driver's license and certificate of naturalization. While updating my status, the officer said the immigration could not verify my information, probably because the certificate is too new (that's what she said), and they're going to send more information to them. But once they confirmed the authenticity of my documents, they'll send me a new SS card and it may take up to 4 weeks. I'm not complaining or anything, but I'm just wondering why do I have to wait just to get it updated.
First of all, I didn't ask for a new card and secondly, why can't they verify my information? and why do I have to wait? Most people that got their SS updated the same day and didn't have to wait. And finally, how would I know if its updated? Are they going to send me a letter?
