Got GC on hand but no SSN
I received my GC on 5/5/2022 but no SSN. I brought my GC to apply for SSN a week later, and now I’m still waiting for my SSN to arrive. The SSA people said they could not verify my info, so they have to do it manually. They said I should receive it within 2 weeks but its already more than 2 weeks and I dont receive anything.
How much longer do I have to wait? I want to start working asap.

Go to SSN office to apply for your SSN

Normally it takes 10 days to update your records after you receive your GC or Naturalization with other government agencies. Give it another 2 weeks and if you didn't receive it call or go to SSA and inquire about it

did you receive it yet? what happened?
M TJul 31, 2022
received it after 3 weeks. the name in your ssn application has to match your GC name

did you have to follow up or did it just arrive?
M TJul 31, 2022
if the ssa officer tell you that your card will be arriving in 2 weeks with the receipt, you dont need to follow up. it should be arriving in exactly 2 weeks.

your middle name is included in ssn?
M TJul 31, 2022
yes, whatever your middle name in GC is, should be the same in ssn application, if it’s just initial then thats is your middle name
Ja RJul 31, 2022
mine is only EAD for now. they put middle initial in EAD and no middle name in SSN
