Social Security Documents and Other Forms
International workers apply for a social security number and card. Typically this happens upon arrival in the United States. If an international worker does not receive a Social Security number upon submission of their application we recommend that the employer obtain the following information:
▪  Worker’s full name, 
▪  Address, 
▪  Date and place of birth, 
▪  Father's full name, 
▪  Mother's full maiden name, 
▪  Gender 
▪  Date he/ she applied for a Social Security number.

Due to new homeland security policies, the social security number and cards might be delayed. 
Delays are not in our control or yours, but sometimes a call/visit to the local social security office facilitates a speedier process.

All J-1 workers should have possession of a DS-2019 form. You will see the J-1 sponsor as well as the name of the responsible officer listed on the form. If you need further assistance, please contact the responsible officer of the J-1 sponsor. wap is always available to provide advice and assistance.
