Social Security no for F1 holders...

[khai]

Hi...
My question is, How long does it take to get a SS no. for an F1 holder after his first arrival ? Months/weeks/days ?

Thanks...

Do you have a on-campus job?

One doesn't get it automatically, you have to apply for it. If you visit the SSA office 1 day after applying they can tell you your number, actual card arrives 2-3 weeks later. You need to have a job in order to apply.
