Case Study: Leveraging strong partnerships and unique expertise for solutions to relocation challenges

At Sterling Lexicon, we leveraged our trusted partnership with IOR to solve a critical SSN procurement challenge for your foreign national assignees in a remote encampment two hours outside Elko, Nevada. When U.S. Social Security offices moved to an online, appointment-only model in 2025, our Destination Service Consultants collaborated directly with local authorities to secure a special dispensation tailored to your project. We established a dedicated weekly day and time for batch SSN processing, eliminating sporadic appointments and long round trips, while guiding assignees through accurate documentation and ensuring efficient card delivery. The result was smooth, timely SSN applications for weekly arrivals and optimized relocation timelines that kept the project on schedule. To date, we have supported 30 employees in the area, with 19 benefiting from the new process, achieving a 100% success rate—demonstrating how our local expertise, strong relationships, and tailored solutions protect your timelines and your people.
