Social Security card

[zuzu303]

Hello, we just received my husband's work permit. I am not sure if I am supposed to go to the social security building to apply for his social security number or if it will come on its own? When I check the USCIS website it says it will arrive in the mail in 7 days. It has been over 14 days now and we still have not received it. Does anyone know what we should do?

It all depends how you filed the I-765 form.

Part 2, item 14 asks "Do you want the SSA to issue you a social security card?

If you said YES then the SSN will arrive within 2-3 weeks after the combo card has been issued.

Good luck.

I read some posts that it may take 4-5 weeks in some cases.

On the form I also applied for a new ssn but it never arrived. What I did is that I went directly to the office and got one there. I waited for 1 month
