Hey, I've been over in New York on a J1 for a month now. I applied for my social security number, got the card in the post and have found a job. My employer seems to be having problems with the number though, the social security office is telling him the numbers "no good".

Has this ever happened to anyone else over here?

What jobs are you both working in? Also, what does your social security card say, it should say something about temporary work or something. Did you apply to the SSA office on 5th and Broadway?
