The consulate is State Department, the Social Security Admin. issues social security numbers. You have to apply once you get here or else chack the box on the DS-230 and hope USCIS sends that to SSA. My wife arrived a month ago, got her green card 2 weeks ago but we had to go to a local SS office and apply for her card which arrived yesterday.

No, she does not get a SSN at the consulate. Miker32 has already answered in details.

Yup, here is your answer
