like not being able to maintain a bank account. Like not being able to file your taxes in an orderly manner. I don't quite see the problem... If you haven't done so: Gather your papers (Passport, student visa), head over to your social security office and apply for a SSN. If they take the paperwork, the SSN will be issued within a couple of weeks, the social security card should be in the mail within a few weeks more. If you are in-between, and the card has not arrived yet, you can call the social scurity hotline (1-800 Number) to get your SSN ahead of the card.
