No it does not take as long to obtain an new social security card as it takes to obtain a green card. You can file online for a social security card at

<http://www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.pdf>

Social Security Administration will require from you for an ORIGINAL CARD: At least two documents to prove age, identity, and U.S. citizenship or current lawful, work-authorized immigration status. If you are not a U.S. citizen or do not have current lawful, work-authorized immigration status, you MUST prove that you have a valid nonwork reason for requesting a card.
