Also SSA still requires everyone to quarantine for 14 days after arrival to the US, therefore, they will make an appointment according to when you arrived in the US. It is very important that you provide a US phone number. If you do not get a response after faxing, please do not call to ask for status until at least 7 business days have passed. To reduce call volume, if you do get a text message, please do not call again to confirm.

If you fax, then SSA will NOT be calling you back, and you will get a text message only with the appointment information in around 5-7 business days.

If you speak to an SSA person on the phone you will be given an appointment and a text message with the appointment information. (For the Mountain View office, if the primary fax number is busy, you can fax to the secondary fax number). You can download a fax app on your mobile device or computer. The best way to contact the office is to actually fax a copy of the completed SS5, passport bio-demo page, I-94, latest DS-2019 or I-20 forms to the fax numbers listed below. In order to obtain a Social Security Card, students and scholars need to call their local SSA office (locations and contact information listed below, based on your local US home address) and schedule an appointment.
