Hey guys! Well I got my EAD in the mail last thursday (June 12). I was very excited so the first place I went to soon after was the social security office. They told me it would take a couple of weeks to get the SS card in the mail, but that I could come back Monday or Tuesday to request the number that had been assigned to me. Well, I did go this last Monday (6/16) and they gave me a letter which had my new number. However, the employer that's been waiting to hire me ran my new information through a background check yesterday and received an "invalid social security number" response. In addition, I've been trying to sign myself into the selective service system, and they give me a similar error. It's strange because I called the social security office yesterday, and they said my information WAS correct and is in the system, so there shouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone had a similar problem or does anyone know how long it takes for these databases to update?
