SSN Question...

So today, i got my EAD card and went directly to SS office. Luckily, i applied without any interferences or questions ask. However, when i asked for a print out of my ssn, the lady told me that they have to verify my immigration status with the immigration. So i quickly thought to myself, why the heck that lady would say that to me. Doesn't it show on my EAD card?!?!? She said i dont have a number yet. Anyway, She told me to wait about 3-4 weeks to be mailed. I just wanna apply for an ID and DL tomorrow so i can everything done asap. What do you guys think about them verifying my immigration status?

When you apply, you don't automatically get assigned a number.

The SSA has to verify your information on the EAD with DHS and they also have to verify your Birth Certificate and identity.

I have been reading the SSN thread and some people got their print outs within 24-48hrs only. But i wonder if they made a phone call first asking if they could get a print out. What should i do?

wait 24hrs call them and ask. the SSO i went to did not mention anything about checking immigration status b4 printout he just said if everything goes alright you can ask for a printout in 24 to 48hrs. i hope u werent expecting to come out of the SSO with a SSN/printout

I didnt expect. I just wished that i could get it on the same day but since they to verify it, ill just come back tomorrow or thurs morning. And might go to different branch. The lady that served me wasnt too nice.

How do u know it was verified ? Did you call ? I want the printout so I can start applying for jobs

Are you kidding me? This is the normal process of getting a SSN for the first time, why in the world would they give you a number at an SSO branch on the day that you applied? Wow! People need to learn to be more patient and quit complaining unnecessarily.

I applied for my SSN on 10/18/12 they initially told me to wait 3 to 4 weeks, called on Tuesday to check the status of my card and they told me they were waiting to hear back on immigration to verify my status. So I asked how much more should I wait and there answer was 60-90 days.. That's just great !!!!

huh? How come all cases sound weird to me?
This is my case:
I applied for SSN and received a receipt saying I will be mailed within 2 weeks.
They didn't tell me anything after entering data from my passport and EAD, I just received a receipt that's all! I am in NY btw.

with the immigration.

do people not search before posting or what the heck lady.
