SSN
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to determine the best course of action so any input is appreciated; my wife received her EAD last week and still waiting on SSN which we request USCIS to process when we filed her documents.
#1: She can't get onboarded at work yet since SSN is still missing. We're thinking of going to SSA office tomorrow to check if there's a pending request for her SSN since she called and can't get anyone on the phone. Any feedback from anyone that just recently went through this? I know folks waited anywhere from 2 days to more than a month.
#2: She'd like to change her name so it will reflect mine. When we got married, the county clerk stated that soon as she has her SSN, we can go to NC DMV and get her ID/License. Obviously, though, #1 above will have her previous last name still, so perhaps another reason to visit the SSA office so that her last name can be changed to mine and when she gets her DMV ID, all will be good.
The goal here is to avoid multiple trips to SSA/DMV to have a correct name on her ID's. Any input is appreciated.

you can phone your local SS office. they can tell you if uscis have requested one. if they haven’t you can make an appointment over the phone, usually for in next ten days

I went to a SSN office when I got my EAD and they were able to do all the necessary paperwork for me to receive 7 to 10 days later my social thru the mail. I would recommend to all that don’t wait.
