Social Security Success
 

My fiance entered on a K-1 on 10/20/02. We went to the Ann Arbor,
Michigan, Social Security office on 10/22/02 and applied for his
number. They couldn't find him in the computer, so they held his
application for ten days from the date of his entry (i.e. 10/30/02) and
then ran his name through the computer again, and bingo, there he was.
They processed his application yesterday. He called the 1-800 number
and received his SS number this morning and his card will come in the
mail in the next two weeks or so. Yay!

One thing to note - we had a written work auth on his I-94, but that
didn't bother them, thank goodness. And we were so glad they held the
app for 10 days to give the INS time to get his name into the computer.
The Social Security staff person who helped us indicated that they know
the INS can get backed up in entering people's names, so they hold the
applications to avoid having to send away to the INS for confirmation of
someone's status (or whatever they are confirming), as that can take
45-60 days. Kristin

p.s. Rete, I posted this to the Kamya site already. :-)
