I applied in 2014, and I've been looking for the exact same thing... 2014 timelines!! Looks like our timelines are pretty similar, hope we get approved soon!
It shouldn't take that long mine took 1 week or a little more because they "supposedly" had to get my birth certificate translated it just depends on the social security person that you get. My brother went in last week and he got it printed the next day. His actual social security card didn't come in till like 3 days after which originally was gonna take 2 weeks. I say try applying again with somebody different or ask them if you can talk to a different person. Some social security agents can be jerks.
Congrats!!! It's funny that you say that. It's like the board is empty. Where are all the past approved members? Sometimes I feel like people who were approved just abandon the site. Anyway,good luck to you and please continue to share your experiences with future members who may be lost and confused about the process.
Anyone applied 2014? I sent mine in yesterday, 3/10/14, via express mail. it should be with them at 3pm!!! i'm so anxious, i've been here for 27 years! i'm 28 lol.
