If your receipt says you need to wait 4 weeks, your information wasn't verified by DHS and it will take longer to manually verify your information.

True, but it's your right to follow up on your application. If they keep you in the blind then it's difficult to know whether the process is pending at DHS database or approved and awaiting SSA office to assign a number.
