it takes about a month to receive your SSN card (by mail).

hi

does anyone has an experience of applying for SSN card in sacramento california ? one of my friend applied for SSN and they said it will take 4-6 weeks to get the card. this could delay her joining date by 15 more days since she applied on 1st september and her h1 starts from october 1st.

any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

i found this article on IRS website (http://immigrationportal.com/showthr...&highlight=ssn) which states that if you have valid tax id you can start working while waiting for SSN card.

http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/...129227,00.html

it might help if you show it to your employer.
