When to apply for an SSN after receiving a Work Permit
I’m going through the employment-based green card process. I currently have my Work Permit.
I’d like to know when and how I can obtain a Social Security Card, and what documents I’ll need to prepare.
Once your Work Permit is issued, you can apply for a Social Security Card at any Social Security office. Bring your Work Permit and passport for identification. After submitting the application, you should receive your Social Security Card in the mail about two weeks later.
