DV winner and SSN
When I filled out the forms for Immigrations visa I requested a SSN. Arriving in US immigration told me I would get SSN-card by mail.
I got my greencard after only three weeks but still waiting for SSN, almost three months. It is supposed to be a fairly new procedure and probably not working properly.
Has anyone got the SSN automaticly?

You still have to apply for it. They don't send one out automatically...

As far as I know, you still have to go and apply for it, and it may take a long time anyway, since you have to be in the SAVE system, reported by INS, and that takes a long time.

Re: DV winner and SSN
I would suggest you to go to an SSA office with your green card ; you
may have to apply again, you should recieve your SSN-card within 3
weeks.

Re: DV winner and SSN
You have to go to your nearest Social Security Administration office
and apply to receive a new SSN card. Then you will get your card --
remember to take your green card + passport when you go to apply.

I won the GC Lottery and have to be in the US by the end of June. Is
there anyway to get a SSN number before entering the US??

I wasn't going to ask but I can't help it ..now..
What do you mean by reqested? I don't think they have forms at the
consular office for SS application nor do they forward the application
to SS Office. Beside, SS Office has to see your identification and
status..
> Arriving in US immigration told me I would get SSN-card by mail.
He/She probably meant that once you apply for it at SS office.

There is a checkmark on the DS-230 (http://travel.state.gov/DS-0230.pdf):
"Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue
a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to
this question and to the "Consent To Disclosure" in order to receive an SSN
and/or card."
But AFAIK, that has never resulted in the SSA sending out a Social Security
card. It basically means that the SSA gets the information that the person
is a PR when the person enters with the Immigrant Visa.
The person will still have to apply for the SSN.
