Zeppellini was also found to be in possession of false documents with several aliases.

      I don't think so. If you apply for an SSN, your immigration status should be current and not expired. For the wait times, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for you to receive your SSN in the mail.

      hi, I got my SSN when I came to the US with my non immigrant visa. but you can apply for your SSN as part of I-485 (adjustment of status) or I-765 (application for employment authorization document or EAD). The EAD usually comes before the green card so try applying for that if you haven't yet.
