I just have a few questions maybe those who have already been through the process or already know can answer. My wife's interview for her IR-1 visa is scheduled for Feb. 10th and I just have a few questions:

We specified on the DS-230 that we wanted the SSA to issue an SSN and card. Will she receive that with her visa or will it arrive in the mail at my address here in the US?

It comes AFTER her entry into the USA... they mail it a few weeks after she arrives... But once she arrvies, after about a week u can go to your local Social Security office and request the # and get a card produced...

Yes, as mentioned it will be mailed out. However, if she hasn't received it in 2-3 weeks, I would recommend you go and apply in person - the 'automatic' issuance doesn't 'take' sometimes :)

Thanks for the info that was exactly what I needed to know.

Supposedly the SSA allows you to apply for an SSN if your immigration is imminent as long as you have some documentation from DHS. I think all I have are the I-797 notices. Do you think they'd be okay with that? I'm headed back to Ottawa again tomorrow to so I can get my wife to sign it while I'm out there. I guess I can always just go to the SSA office here and ask :)

There's no major rush to get it I just thought I might as well get it in the works while we're waiting for the interview in Feb.
