I just filed for AOS and I-130, so if approved I should get my EAD within the 90 days.

My I-94 expired, and I came here on the VWP (not K1 or anything like that).

So, my questions is... when I receive my EAD card, I can take that to apply for my SSC? Would that be enough? My passport, birth certificate and EAD?

How long will it take when I go in person to the Social Security Admin. Office and apply for my card. How long before I get my number and card? And this is the correct procedure right? It's not going to be the USCIS that will give me a SSC, but the local office here, right??

Once I have my SSN, then I can start working I assume? Can I also return to school and take some college classes? Will I start establishing credit, and will I be able to get student loans or a carloan once my credit is good or do I need to be a citizen for that?

My timeline:

Yep! That is it! Once you receive your EAD you take that and your passport and the SSA Application to your local Social Security Administrative office.

Here you go: SSA

Allow two weeks to get your SSN card after you apply with your EAD. Developing credit will take awhile. Your bank may be willing to issue a credit card with a $500 credit limit, but in this economic crisis, maybe not. I know of one immigrant who was refused a credit card until he had been here a full year, maintaining a steady balance at his bank. It's entirely up to the lender; student loans may be easier.

Good point Old Dominion! I just got myself a secured credit card with no application fee and pretty low annual fee! I applied for a target card and got denied. it seems its getting pretty tight in this economy to get any kind of credit, loan etc....
