还是SSN，看过来！！！！

dream03UID: 126116

我是通过ins转的身份，

8月底，我和我同学一起申请的，可是我们系里除了我，别人都在两周之前拿到了。

我去ISS问，被告知还有一半international student没有拿到。

他们告诉我，不要去LOCAL SSA查询，说反而会影响办理进度。


我非常confused，我到底是否应该去LOCAL OFFICE 自己查呢？？

Please share your experience with me.  How long does it take to get your ssn?

Thanks

I have the same problem. I applied my SSN on Aug. 27th, But after 6 weeks, i still didn't get any information about that. But I know sb. who applied after me already got it only took 3 weeks.So I tried to make a call to local office. But just music answered me. So I went to the office in person. That officer said maybe there are too many cases and he seemed to make a reminder. So after 1 week, I got a notice letter. it is said my SSn will be ready in 1-2 weeks. Till now 4 more days have gone, and I am still waiting.

It was said that they give SSN by Alphabetical  order of people's last name.

Why 不要去LOCAL SSA查询，说反而会影响办理进度。? I am confused too. I went there when most of my friends have got it.  You need to know the reason at least, whether it is because there are too many cases or they need to verify your information. If the latter, you may need to submit some documents. I got mine 4 weeks later after they told me my information needed to be verified by ins. It took me 7 weeks totally.

I applied for it on Aug.5. now 11weeks have passed, I am still waiting...

The clerk in the local office always let me wait. Today I complained her to the suppervisor and they give me some serious reply, but they still let me wait.....

now you say:不要去LOCAL SSA查询，说反而会影响办理进度???

I do not know whether I can get it in this semester!

Also, I have some exprience. I went to local office to apply for the ssn. but someone with same situation (F2-F1 through Mexico, one day earlyer than me)applied in the orientation and got her ssn only two weeks after she applied. there must have two different applicant pools in INS.

So, maybe I have to apply again in the spring semester oritation...............

今天回家发现SSn到了。
我觉得还得要去催才行。

严重同意对ＩＮＳ只有多催才成！

northriverUID: 115502

请问大家是怎么催的？去local office还是打电话到INS？我也在催，但我看来local office也不能决定什么，他们只能给你查一下。而那个800电话打到最后只是一个留言。

哪位有这方面的经验请告诉一下好吗？我有一点找不到催的地方的感觉，现在觉得哪怕有一个complain 的EMAIL也好，有时这个更管用。

我这个月连续四个midterm，都没时间去催啊。

只等下周一考完最后一个midterm，再去local office吧，地址网上可以查到吗？

印象中电话里会按照你输入的ZIP COAD告诉你地址，和那种感觉上的方位图。
