Got my SSN in 4 days.. confused
I thought I was supposed to wait 10 days before going to the SSA and asking whether I'm "in the system". Well, I was in the area anyway and thought there's no harm in asking. Waited about a minute to get served, then the friendly lady took my passport (visa page) and said the card had already been posted on Monday - I arrived the previous Thursday! I got the number printed for me.
On a side note, though the American Express global transfer states that a SSN is required for the application, it wasn't and the card arrived yesterday with a $5k limit - that'll do for now.
I exist! Next step, DMV. Look out Patty and Selma!

For the record, you arrived on a K-1, correct?
Yeah, that IS weird. I've never heard of a K-1 holder getting a SSN automatically like that. I could see where you'd be in the system 4 days later, perhaps things have sped up...but I've never heard of them posting (mailing?) the SS card out to a K-1 holder automatically.
Congrats, though!

Did you tick the box to automatically do it? If so, that should be the case, but 4 days is still pretty good going
