Your social security card will arrive at your mailing address about three weeks after you arrive in the US. If you apply for the Social Security number outside of the US, you do not have to visit an American Social Security office after entry into the United States.
Expediting Social Security card delivery. I have not seen a way to expedite card delivery. Social Security will mail your card as soon as they have verified your documents. You should receive your card within 10 business days from the date on your receipt. Dropping your materials by your local Social Security office may speed things up a bit, and remove any potential for missing documentation. http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/251/. link.
