SSN

So if you come to this country on an H1B visa, you are advised to wait 10 days after crossing the border to apply for SSN otherwise your application is subject to extended verification. Without social security number no insurance, no pay cheque, no driver's licence. And on H1B you obviously don't want those, since you are here only for ... er ... work ... There must be a good reason for this... Somewhere... Well hidden... That no one knows (at least in the social security office). Feels just like home in Hungary!
