Sammy Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 My wife and I would like to thank everyone who helped us along the way. We are happy to report that the interview went well (1-2 minutes), we received a pink slip and picked up our visa at the post office two days later. We are now making a happy home together stateside. I am just wondering about experiences obtaining a Social Security card. When we filled out our forms we chose to have one automatically given to us. Has anyone had any experience with this option? How long should I wait to receive a S.S. card? Thanks again everyone. This site is a godsend. Sincerely, Sam Link to comment

Some have received the card going the automatic form route in a short periodof time and others waited and waited and finally just went to the social security office and applied for it there.

dnoblett Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Give it 2 weeks after entry to the USA then apply for a replacement at the SSA office. It can take that long for DHS to update system used by SSA to confirm immigration status. Link to comment
