Why is it taking so long for me to receive my SSN? "If you’re a noncitizen, we must verify your documents with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) before we issue a SSN card. We will issue the card within two days of receiving verification from DHS. Most of the time, we can quickly verify your documents online with DHS. If DHS can’t verify your documents online, it may take several weeks or months to respond to Social Security's request. For more details, please see the answer to the Frequently Asked Question, How is SSA protecting Social Security numbers?"-Information taken directly from Social Security Administration web site.
