when do you receive SSN
Hi all,
After receving the GC. How long until you get the ssn card?
When I apply for AOS, I did check the box that asked if I want to apply for ssn. But now I am not sure if i will get it or I have to reapply again?
I called the nearest SSN Center to check the status and they said they did not see anything with my name so she schedule me an appointment to apply for ssn in person but the appointment is all the way on 1st March. :(
Can I apply for a job while waiting for ssn appointment?
have anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you in advance :)

Call a Social Security office and Schedule an appointment for this week and get your SSN in the office. You would probably have to go there either way, because the one USCIS assign us usually has a restriction with it (Valid with DHS Authorization Only). Good luck!

@Matheus. i did. next availability they have is 1st March :(. but im just wondering because during the interview the officer said USCIS works with SSA. once the application got approve. USCIS send our form to SSA and we supposed to get it together or may be 7-14 days after receiving GC.
plus in the AOS form it did asked if you want to apply for ssn and i tick yes. So im just wondering because i see many people gets GC and SSN together without having tovapply in person again.

There will probably be a delay of 2 weeks between you getting your green card and SSN. Even with the EAD you usually get your SS Card a week or two after your EAD, so I would assume same thing for the green card. If I were you, I would still have the appointment scheduled, and wait, you may get it before the appointment, but if you don’t, it doesn’t matter because you have an appointment scheduled.
