It does look like we will be completely done with this processes sometime in mid November. I am not sure how long it takes to get your ID/license after you go to the DMV, but I heard it can take 2-3 weeks. We are almost there!

I just want to get my SSN ASAP so I can begin the process of applying for a job which would replace the current lousy one I hold.

SSA FIRST VISIT 09-28-2012 1:00pm

I went to the Social Security Administration on September 28th to apply for my original SSN around 1:00 pm located at Soto St. I came in the office and there was one security guard on the right. I went to the machine to get my ticket number B252, and waited about 10 minutes when they called my number. I approached the window and the representative ask for my ID, and he said he was going to put me on the system "only my name", and sat me back down. Then a random lady started talking to me for a while, I didn't notice the time but It probably was a good 20-25 minutes when they called my name and went to the window where they ask for all my documents I brought (Consular ID, Birth Certificate(untranslated), and EAD Card. I also had the SS-5 form filled out. I included all my information, and my parents name only without their SSN's. After the Q&A's, I was told I may bring all of my Tax Returns to SSA, to credit my account, and that after the 10 day wait has been reached. I needed to wait 3 additional days to request a print out of my information. And that was it.

SSA SECOND VISIT 10-5-2012 3:00pm
I went to SSA office located at Wilshire Blvd to request my print out. I came in to the office, where they had everybody go through a metal detector and there was 4 police officers doing the scanning. I got a ticket and sat down. There was around 30-40 people since it was a Friday it was really crowded, and it was almost closing time. I waited and waited...finally they called my number C131 I went to the window and I told the representative. "I have applied for an original ssn, and I am here to request for a print out". And i gave her my SSN receipt paper, EAD Card, Consular ID Card. She asked me for my mothers maiden name, and fathers name, and 2 min later. She printed my information and stamp the document that has my ssn on it. I asked her when should I be expecting my card by mail, she stated it should arrive within a week. And today I received another letter from SSA which states: "This is a receipt to show that you applied for a Social Security card on Sept 28th 2012. You should have your card in about 2 weeks..."
