You can apply for a SSC 2 weeks after entry to the USA on a K-1 visa.

As long as the I-94 is valid and has more than a month left you should be able to still get your SSC if not you have to now wait for your EAD.

We did this and I was given a SSC

In your situation you cannot get a SSN until you have EAD.
