    I would like to change my name of social security due to marriage. Recently I lost my permanent residence card. What kind of documents should I submit in order to change my name ? Thank you.

    Waiting currently for 51 minutes on phone listening to a music just to make an appointment at the San Diego SS office. Will hold on another 30 minutes then must go.

    I have tried 3 times to reach this office regarding my son's social security card. I am just transferred to a line with a busy signal or the call is dropped. It is impossible to get a live person on the phone to ask a simple equation. Surely they could at least afford and answering service so instead of a busy signal and a disconnect. Terrible service!!

    My wife came to the Us on June 9, 2020. She also received her Green Card on July 29, 2020. But, she did not receive her social security card so far even though she has applied for it as a part of her immigration visa. We have tried to contact a lot of times, someone told they are still processing, someone told that they do not have our application for the card. So confuse! How can we do now if the office still close? My wife almost gives birth, needs a social number, but everything is a mess.

    I am a Relocation Consultant and bring my clients with working visas to this office to get their SS card. I have been going to this office since it opened and have always been satisfied with the professionalism of the employees. The last I heard was that this office was closed as of March 18th. I don't know if it has opened since. How can my clients apply for the SS card? They have L-1 visas.
