SSA will only issue a SSN to a person who is authorized to work in the USA. (K-3 is NOT work authorized) you need to file for AOS and/or EAD to get Green-card or EAD to become work authorized.
Evidence of work authorization are:

• US Citizen's birth Cert.
• Certificate of naturalization.
• Work authorized NON-Immigrant visa like K-1, H-1B, H-1C, H-2A, H-2B, H-3, L-1, O-1, O-2, P-1, P-1S, P-2, P-2S, P-3, P-3S, Q-1, E-1, E-2, R-1 or TN with valid I-94 card.
• EAD card
• Green-Card
• Foreign passport with I-551 stamp.

Check "a" on the I-485 "Based on approved relative petition" and include a copy of the I-130 NOA2 letter.

Apply for EAD (I-765) at same time and include it in the same envelope, use code (c )(9 ) I-485 pending.

File everything to the Chicago address for I-485.

Can only apply for SSA after receiving the EAD or green-card.

Please read up some more about how to make the most of your K3. I've seen a lot of K3 VJers who just file for EAD and wait until after the 2nd anniversary of their marriage to apply for AOS. You are free to travel in and out of the country as long as your K3 is valid, so you really don't need to rush your AOS filing.
