Hey guys, just for your information I thought I'd post how long it took Stephen to get his Social Security card since I know we were wondering about it too a few weeks ago. He arrived June 4th to the states through JFK and got his stamp for the temporary work permit. Then on Mon, June 7th after work we went to social security (in Orange County, California) just before it closed, and he applied for his number. Then he got the number in the mail today, Mon, June 21. So it took exactly 2 weeks. On the social security card it says that it's only valid for work with permission of DHS (which is the 90 day stamp on his passport). And then it says with any change of status to notify them (duh).
