Give them a call and ask them if you have been assigned a Social Security Number. If you have, you can go get a printout.

You need the EAD card.

They should have given you a receipt when you applied with a reference number and a phone number. Look up the SSA office you went to on Google if the number isn't on the receipt.

No number just address? How long does it take for it to arrive?

[JoseG 383]

You should get the card within 1-2 weeks.

They might be confused. Your EAD and translated birth certificate are enough. Try printing out the PDF information on DACA SSN instructions http://www.socialsec...online/ss-5.pdf and take it with to the SSN office. They should be informed better.

When you go to the SSA to apply for a Social Security Number you need to establish three things.

• age,
  
• identity, and
  
• US citizenship/lawful alien status.
  

For those three things, you need to submit at least 2 acceptable documents. Two acceptable documents that can be used are your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and a Passport or Birth Certificate.

The EAD will establish your Identity and lawful alien status, and the birth certificate/passport will establish your age.

I suggest you print out this form and go back to the SSA and try again. If they don't accept your EAD and birth certificate, show them this form. It is the POMS guidelines that they are supposed to follow. Look under Section C part 2. Alien Applicant.

thanks guys. thats what i was thinking of doing, printing that page and showing them because they didnt seem to know what Deferred Action was! they kept asking me to show them something that says how i got to the U.S. like the I-94 or I-551 or passport but ive never had any of those so I will try going again with that printout. thanks!!!

yea a lawyer friend of mine told me it takes a few days for the information to get into the Social Security Administration's computer system. so i'll just try in a couple of days..

Has anyone taken a school record/school id to apply for a SS card? My husband only has a photocopy of his birth certificate but he does have his school record from high school and a middle school ID... not sure if either of those will work Thanks !

[emsmama2007 1]

***news flash*** i just spoke to a supervisor for the social security admin. and he told me that adults over the age of 18 who have been granted deferred action and have their EAD, have to have a passport when applying for a social security card. he said minors can get by without a passport. thats the reason why ive been having problems applying.now i have to wait to get a social security card until i can get an appointment with the consulate to get my passport...hope you guys have better luck than me.

I don't think this is correct.

B. Original and new SSN

At least two acceptable documents are required to establish:

• age,
  
• identity, and
  
• US citizenship/lawful alien status.
  

2. Alien applicant

If an alien applicant submits an immigration document (e.g., a document issued by the Department of Homeland Security), you can use it to establish identity and lawful alien status; then, the alien must provide another acceptable document, such as a foreign passport or birth certificate, to establish age.

Basically what this says is that we need to prove 3 things to the SSA. Our age, identity, and U.S. Citizenship/lawful alien status. Our EAD works to establish identity and lawful alien status, then a passport or birth certificate can be used to establish age. This is straight from POMS, the guidelines the SSA must follow.

The only possible scenario where I think they would demand to see a passport is maybe when they can't verify your birth certificate. Other than that, you shouldn't need a passport.

[emsmama2007 1]

i just dont get it. whats their problem?? they dont seem to go by their own guidelines...let me know how it goes for you.

I don't think this is correct.

I went to applied for my social security card today and there was not a fee. The lady asked me for my work permit and my passport. Always make sure to call your local ASA office to avoid any unnecessary trip.

[emsmama2007 1]
