They told us they had to mail away for verification and that it might take 30 days and then it took them 90 days! We only got it when we wrote to our Congressman (thank you John Kline) and his office intervened. It's been said (and from what I have read it seems to work) that if you wait a week or two after filing and getting the EAD that the BCIS then has time to update the system and SSA doesn't have to write to verify. Supposedly much quicker. Unfortunately we didn't know that at the time and we went straight down to SSA after getting the EAD and Dave wasn't in the system yet. What a hassle huh? Good luck to you!

My green card actually arrived before my SS number so applying for the EAD turned out to be a waste of time and money. Course, fortunately that doesn't happen in every case! Good luck, but 30 days sounds pretty good to me. Regards -=- Scarlett -- Scarlett Hill Posted via http://britishexpats.com

Anjeje Guest Posts: n/a	Re: 30 days to get social security card???? Wow 30 days to get SSN I feel so lucky as I'm in Tx and applied for mine last Friday and got it yesterday. Only thing I seem to be having problems with is obtaining a Texas Drivers License. For some reason they won't let me get one until I have a perm resident card. Sorry to hear of your struggle Anjele -- Anjele Posted via http://britishexpats.com
