  • Applying for SSN in USA

    Friends -
    Should a first time canditate who is in USA on his H1B visa , need to wait for a specific period of time before applying for SSN at a local SSN office? Because i hear unconfirmed stories that it takes some time for immigration specific information to be transferred from Port of entry office to SSN office.

    How long does it take for somebody coming first time to USA on a H1B visa to apply for a SSN ?

    Should the canditate apply for SSN only in the jurisdiction where the company is located or it can be anywhere in the USA ?

    Any insight on these issues is highly appreciated !

    Thanks

    You have to apply for SSN only after you've reached the US.
    Ideally one should wait for a week after reaching the US and then go to the SSN office.
    Yes, sometimes it takes time for the data to come to the SSN admin office.
