Hey all, quick question about getting an SSN. I've already started the process for my wife's GC and it's moving along at a nice pace. We have the biometrics appt. etc. And aside from a kick back (RFE) last week because of two missing signatures, I expect case processing to resume and approval in the next couple of weeks.

Anyway, I was just wondering how to go about getting a SSN number for her? Do we wait until we received the green card or stamp in the passport before applying or do we apply for it with some sort correspondence received from USCIS?

You need to be work authorized in order to get a SSN.. That is either the EAD card or the GC. When you have one of them in your hands, then go to SSA

YMMV

Very good, we'll just wait for the GC as I make enough for both us for the time being.

Thank you kindly,

No, didn't apply for EAD (I-765) or AP (I-131) as we figured we would just wait to travel and start work after we had GC in hand.
