Time to get a Social Security number for legal alien
The SSA states the following on this :
It takes approximately 7 to 10 business days after we verify your immigration documents with the Department of Homeland Services (DHS) before we can assign you a Social Security number. After receiving verification from DHS, we will mail your Social Security card. In most cases, we can verify your documents within two weeks with DHS online.
If we cannot verify your documents online, it may take us several weeks to hear from DHS. We work closely with DHS to reduce delays.
To follow up on your application for a Social Security number, return to to the Social Security office where you filed your application. When you go, take the documents you originally presented as evidence.
