What Can I Do To Get A Social Security Number?
I arrived in USA in Feb 2022. It has been 16 weeks. I still have not received SS Card or Number
Have written emails, called, sent application. No result. Any advce
Hi. The following Social Security website includes instructions for non-U.S. citizens to apply for a Social Security number (SSN): https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm. I don't know how long it is currently taking Social Security to process such applications, though. You might want to try calling Social Security at 800-772-1213 to see if they can provide you with a status report.
Best, Jerry
