I live in NY. My brother got approved as well!

These approvals are all over the place...

I'm sure you will be approved soon. I expected to be approved this Friday or maybe next week. I was delighted to see that I was approved today

Hey guys, I just got home from the social security office and I just wanted to share my experience. The worker who called my number was extremely friendly, almost to a flirtatious point. At first I didn't mind it only because I was preparing myself to deal with a rude person for whatever reason. Anyway, he was chatting with me and chatting with his coworkers and laughing and smiling etc...etc.. Which was awesome cuz I was freaking out at first almost to the verge of passing out hahaha. But yeah... Towards the end I started to get aggravated because he kept on getting distracted talking to his coworkers and I had been standing at that little window for 15 mins already. So then we got to the point of the interview... And once again he calls over a coworker to ask how come they now had to ask people 7 questions instead of just 3 like they were apparently doing lately.... At this point I'm pretty much like, can you ask the questions already!!!!! I didn't say it, but I thought about it. So then he starts asking me the questions..... And they were completely different from what I heard others say here. He asked me things like: had I ever held a part time or full time job in the US? Did I have a checking account or savings account at any US bank? Had I ever filed taxes or anyone filed with me as a dependent ? Had I ever used any US benefits such as Medicaid Medicare food stamps etc? Had I ever taken any national college entry exam ? Had i ever applied to a US university, college or vocational school ? Had I ever left the US and lived in a country for an extended period of time ? Anyway, things of that sort.... Not once did he ask me when had I come to the US or anything like some have said they would! But everything went well and he never said anything about waiting 10 days. He gave me a receipt saying I'd receive my social in the mail in 2 weeks and that was that. I answered truthfully to all questions, so I hope that won't get me in trouble... I'm not sure what's the reason they asked some of those questions but... Hopefully this will be helpful information to others! By the way, I live in MA!
