"Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to this question and to the "Consent To Disclosure" in order to receive an SSN and/or card."
MY QUESTION IS?
Does my spouse needs to go apply for the Social Security Number or does the Social Security Number (Card) will come by mail since my spouse answered 'YES' in the DS-230 for the Social Security Administration to assign a SSN card?
Thanks!!!!

The above program is ONLY for those entering the US with an Immigrant Visa. Did your spouse enter with an IV (CR or IR) or on a K-3?
If K-3, the immigrant must first apply for and receive an EAD, and then go to SSA and apply for the SS#.
If the 'yes' box was ticked AND the immgrant arrived with a CR/IR visa type, the card should arrive automagically within 3 weeks.
